Rimbach is a village at the foot of the Hoher Bogen (a seven-peaked mountain ridge in the Northern Bavarian Forest National Park).

There are many organized groups that maintain the native dress, dancing, songs, and the traditional musical instruments from the area.

Two other hikes to the top of the mountain are to the antenna area for German TV broadcasting at the peak called Burgstall.

This relay station brought broadcast TV to a remote area of German and provided news and educational content to Western Bohemia over the "Iron Curtain" during the Cold War.

It also has a Cold War history, since it was the site of German, French and American Signal Intelligence operations (since closed in the 1990s) that were directed over the Czech Border (3.5 miles to the East).
