Very beautiful church, which was unfortunately closed when we visited. As Lake55 already wrote: the last building from the flooded Flaje to be relocated here. A remarkable achievement.

We went on a little winter hike today. The border river trail is also easily accessible in winter. To Chata Barbora simply turn onto the Neugrabenflossweg and after a total of 1 hour with a short break we were at our destination. We took the way back across the street.
