May 20, 2023,🇩🇪🇨🇿Oberpfälzer/ Böhmischer Wald: Schellenberg Ruine und Rabenberg

For today I had planned another cross-border tour and drove to the Czech border.

It all started at the Gehenhammer mill. After crossing a cow pasture, we went into the Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park.

While the first part of the path was rather wide forest paths, many beautiful paths were added later.

A very nice hike in any season with lovely viewpoints. When the weather is nice you have a wonderful view of the landscape. Unfortunately the old mill is closed in the winter months until March.
