You have a proud 1,378 meters under your feet when you stand up here. The Plöckenstein is one of the higher journeys in this area and impresses with its breathtaking views down to the Plöckenstein and Vltava reservoirs. You also have a clear view of the Hochstein here.

Adalbert Stifter Monument and view of Lake Plöckenstein

Highlight • Monument

On a steep path you make your way up to the Stifter Obelisk - it was built in honor of the poet Adalbert Stifter, who was very influential in the Bohemian Forest. The distant view and the view of the "Eye of God", the Plöckensteinersee, are simply awesome!
