Fantastic all-round view - If the tower is open, it is essential to climb (20 Kr)!

Way of the Cross of Zeidler (Calvary in Brtníky)

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

Imposing, how to try to restore the old beauty. In northern Bohemia there are a number of good and not so well-preserved crossroads. Here you have a little insight, how such paths are designed / were.

May 1, 2026,20 - Zum Zeidler Raubschloss und auf den Basaltgipfel des Wolfsbergs

Today, I took out the Rölke Wander- und Naturführer Böhmische Schweiz for the first time in a long time and was inspired to take a trip to a very exciting area. Together with @B Özer, we set off from Brtníky (German Zeidler) on a geologically, scenically, and botanically very interesting tour.
The tours in the book are written in a …

After breakfast, I drove from Schönlinde to Zeidler today to hike this tour. I'm sure I've hiked something like this before, a few years ago. However, since the forest looks different now, it's a new experience. After Zeidlerburg, you have to walk a stretch of unmarked path …

Today we went for a walk in Bohemia. We set off without much preparation. The Wolfsberg on the other side of the road had caught my interest when we arrived and was included in the tour. However, there had been a fire a year before and some of the cladding on the tower was destroyed. Unfortunately, the tower was closed …

We were impressed by Bohemian Switzerland... today we set off for the stolen Zeidlerburg Castle. Part of the path was pure adventure...fallen trees as far as the eye could see...sometimes we had to crawl under them, sometimes we had to climb over them. Just enough for the stride length to be enough. It's a miracle that the path wasn't closed. …
