this is a little silly of me since you have already
been there in the flesh jesper
but using the trusty looking czech map overlay &
satpic in combination
& then comparing the result with google earth
i was able to nail the clearing i think you mean
as shown in the attached revised tripoint stretching
diagram
as well as here
http://mapy.seznam.cz/?mapType=ophoto&zoom=15¢erX=138977024¢erY=130775616&portWidth=682&portHeight=529&forceMapParams=1#centerX=131671392@centerY=131286688@typ=ophoto@zoom=16@vizType=none@vizIds=none
if this link actually works as intended
& if this is indeed correct
then my earlier guess or rather grope try as shown
here
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.culture.discuss.boundary-point/9246
proves to have been about 100 meters or so off
