    Wolkenstein Castle is a high medieval castle that was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. The town and castle stand on gneiss rocks 80 meters above the Zschopautal. Wolkenstein owes its existence to the sound of the mountains. That is, the discovery of ore deposits. The settlement and ore mining is older than that of Annaberg-Buchholz.

      I visited the castle on a via ferrata tour. Well restored, not too built up.

        The castle also houses a falconry, which offers demonstrations at 3 p.m. in good weather. Eagle, eagle owl, vulture and of course falcons. Everything is doing its rounds here.
