Balzers Lager rock shelter

Highlight • Cave

Below the Black Wall with the Wilhelmina view is "Balzers Lager" (Balzerovo lezeni) with an inscription:
"Who is the master? The one who invented something.
Who is the journeyman? The one who can do something.
Who is the apprentice? Anyone."
The inscription was carved in 1856 and the text is by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The name "Balzers Lager" goes back to the "courtship of the capercaillie" and the falconry that was once common here on the Falkenstein. Balzers Lager is a huge boofe, a rock overhang that served as a refuge for the Dittersbachers in troubled times.

Dolský Mill (Grundmühle) Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

a great forgotten place. Former basic mill with many interesting and romantic building ruins. First documented in 1515 as a mill with three wheels (one wheel drove the saw, two the grinder). Rebuilt in 1727 including bakery. When the water was low, it also served as a malt mill for the Binsdorf Castle Brewery (Bynovec). In 1814 a distillery was added. At the end of the 19th century, the boat trip through the Ferdinandsklamm ended here. During this time a tavern was built. For several years, the customs guard had its seat in this place. After 1945 the mill became deserted. Today it is just a romantic ruin. The Grundmühle is located in the Kamnitztal. In the area there are marked hiking trails to Vysoká Lípa, Kamenická Stráň and Jetřichovice.
