Deserted mountain villages and historic paths 158 steps lead up to the 30-metre-high viewing tower on the Haidel. From the top you can enjoy a fantastic all-round view and below us the coats of arms of the municipalities of Philippsreut, Hinterschmieding, Grainet, Neureichenau and Haidmühle shine. They adorn the roofs of small information stands that surround the tower like a 5-pointed star. We then visit the deserted village of Leopoldsreut, which was founded by Prince-Bishop Leopold I of Passau at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War. Its purpose was to secure the border to Bohemia and the Goldener Steig trade route. The life of the farmers at 1108 meters above sea level with 6 months of winter was meagre and hard. Some farmers preferred life as woodcutters in the Schwarzental valley and so the first families left Leopoldsreut in 1860. In 1965, the last inhabitants moved away and all 21 houses were demolished and the village was afforested. Only the old schoolhouse and the newly renovated St. Nepomuk church are still standing.
