Cyklotrasy 008- Český les- Tachovsko

By bike through the abandoned villages of the Bohemian Forest. A region where soldiers ruled until 1990

Until 1990, the Bohemian Forest in the Tachov region was behind the Iron Curtain, accessible only to border guards and locals. The post-war expulsion of the German population and the clearance of villages due to the border zone turned the landscape inhabited for centuries into a deserted area with relatively untouched nature.
