Former barracks of the Czech border guards. There's not much to see, just a historical background

Locals and guests are invited to the charcoal kiln weeks in Waldmünchen from mid-July to early August to learn about the ancient craft of charcoal burning, which used to be an integral part of forest management. First built in 1996, the charcoal kiln in the Bohemian Forest has become a success story. Preparations are in full swing every year from the beginning of July.
