Tips from the Community
Wonderful, especially in the very early morning. The Máchovo jezero or Hirschberger Großteich was created in 1366, with Emperor Charles IV himself lending a hand. The pond is located in a spring area and is fed by two streams; the Okenský potok flowing from the Čepelský rybník (Tschöpelteich) and the Břehyňský potok coming from the Břehyňský rybník (Heideteich).

As part of the tourist development of the lake, this path was created through the rock.

Not only for the inflow and outflow of the Machasee, but also for the railway, a deep, long trench was hewn through the rock.

Highlights include the outflow (here) and the inflow to Lake Macha, both magnificently carved out of the rock in the Middle Ages.

A rocky ditch for the railway line!

It's better to cycle up the rocky gully or push your bike. You'll then reach a relatively wide forest path.
