The Plöckensteinersee (in Czech Plešné jezero) is a glacial lake that lies below the Plöckenstein. On the east bank there is a shelter and places to take a break where you can take a leisurely rest and enjoy the view of the picturesque lake.

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!
