Haidmühle is a village at 831 metres on the Czech border in the Bavarian Forest, below the Dreisesselberg. It suits walkers and cyclists who want quiet. Passenger trains from Waldkirchen stopped in 1963, so plan on a car.
Haidmühle is a municipality of about 1,400 people at 831 metres, on the Studená Vltava in the Freyung-Grafenau district. A border crossing at Nové Údolí lies a few metres from the village and is open to pedestrians and cyclists. Homes are spread around the village, nearly all with a garden, mostly small, one bedroom and sleeping about four, though the largest sleeps far more. None has a pool. The Dreisesselberg rises to the south-east, and walking trails lead up to it from the village.
