Moorberg

Moorberg is a mountain summit in the Bohemian Forest that rises to approximately 1370 meters and sits within dense woodland. Granite rock formations are visible along the slopes, creating the landscape that visitors encounter as they approach the top.

During the Cold War, this location marked the boundary between Eastern and Western Europe, which shaped its geopolitical importance. Old military structures from that era remain scattered across the summit area as remnants of that divided history.

The summit draws hikers and nature lovers who gather here to enjoy views across the surrounding forests and valleys. The place serves as a meeting point for people seeking mountain experiences and outdoor connection.

Several clearly marked hiking trails connect the summit to nearby parking areas, making the routes easy to follow for most visitors. During winter months, heavy snow coverage changes access conditions significantly, so proper gear becomes important for the ascent.

The summit supports a population of rare mountain butterflies adapted to the specific climate at this elevation. The combination of altitude and plant life creates conditions found nowhere else in the surrounding region.
