Cross-border hike to the Mückentürmchen.
The almost 7-kilometre tour leads from Fürstenau via the German-Czech border crossing to Fojtovice and up to the Mückentürmchen. Along the way, hikers can expect expansive views, idyllic field and forest paths and an impressive panorama of the Bohemian Basin.

You start at the parking lot at the end of the small village of Fürstenau. From here, cross the pedestrian border crossing to Fojtovice. You will see the little tower ahead of you along the short hike. At the end of the village, it is up to you whether you continue along the road and then turn left at the small chapel on the hilltop and hike up to the Mückentürmchen or take the path to the tower via a field path (on the left as you leave Fojtovice). Return along the same route back to the starting point.
