Hochficht

Hochficht is a 1,338 meter (4,390 feet) high mountain summit at the Bohemian Forest border with a summit cross and weather station. The mountain has marked hiking trails for different skill levels and a nearby ski lift station.

The mountain gained wider attention in the 19th century when surrounding areas developed winter sports facilities and tourist infrastructure. This development established the summit as a popular destination for regional visitors.

The mountain marks the border between Austria and Czech Republic, and visitors from both countries meet here to hike and enjoy the mountain views together.

The hiking trails are well marked and offer options for beginners to experienced hikers with varying routes and difficulty levels. In winter, the ski lift station provides a practical way to reach the summit quickly, especially during poor weather conditions.

Hochficht ranks among the highest summits in the Rohrbach district and offers views that extend to neighboring regions on clear days. Its location on the state border makes every visit an international experience between two countries.
