Along the Čertova Stěna
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
An impressive number of small and large stones / rocks, the narrow Vltava, plus the railway line and the bike path, here more as a hiking trail.
There is also a lookout point from road 163, but it's much nicer to cycle past it.

A very beautiful section is the Kritzenthal, directly along the border

Rocks are always great and if there is a passage or even caves, even more beautiful... This passage is simply great

I found this section of the route really great, the path was narrow but easy to drive on and the area... just wow! You should enjoy that and you can always go back to the water and just pause and listen to the noise... ;) Especially the Teufelswand is impressive!

This is where the bike ends in the terrain, or rather if you love your bike, you push it...

Beautiful view of the Czech Republic and the opportunity to watch the beaver. There is also a video of the life on the border at that time for the resident of a house at the Mausthurm. Anna Betz "Steigmauerer Anni" on YouTube

The beaver has already dammed the stream to form a small lake and built a beaver den
