Lake Kristýna

Highlight • Lake

During the severe flooding in August 2010, the lake flooded beyond its capacity, and to make matters worse, the dam over the Neisse River burst. The small lake suffered severe damage.

In recent years, enormous investment has been made, partly with EU funding, and today it is a popular tourist destination in the tri-border region: newly designed beaches, restroom facilities, a climbing park, a fitness trail, tent and camping sites, small holiday homes, and restaurants on every corner.

Always worth a visit.

This highlight "Dreiländereck" is in the wrong position, here is rather the beginning of Hartau!

Three-Country Point Germany–Czech Republic–Poland

Highlight • Monument

At the border triangle, you can leave Poland and enter the Czech Republic via a wooden bridge. Rest areas have been set up on both the Polish and Czech sides. Currently, there is no way to cross into Germany at the border triangle, but a bridge is being planned.

Three-country point Germany–Poland–Czechia

Highlight • Monument

"Lord Jesus Christ, in the hour of death you did not remain indifferent to the fate of mankind and at the same time, with your last breath, you lovingly entrusted men and women of all times, with their weaknesses and sins, to the mercy of the Father. Fill us and future generations with your spirit of love, so that our indifference does not destroy in us the fruits that your death has produced. To you, crucified Lord Jesus Christ, God's power and wisdom, be honor and praise forever and ever." (Prayer for the Way of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, Good Friday 2000)

On a whim, we decided on this hike. Despite the slightly frosty temperatures and occasional gusty, icy winds, we laced up our hiking boots. We should have packed grit ❄️☃️😊, as the asphalt was quite slippery and icy in places.

Nevertheless, we enjoyed it and breathed in the crisp, clear air. 😎
Wishing you all a happy new year! 🎆🎉🤗

Today around the three countries point. A leisurely afternoon stroll. At the moment, the Neisse dam on the Polish side has also been cut free. A detour to the Kristinasee is also recommended.
