On the High Park Stone, the landmark of the Naabbecken towering 594 m high basalt cone, probably enthroned since the turn of the millennium, a proud castle.
It was first mentioned in 1052, when Duke Konrad of Bavaria burned down the castle owned by Bishop Gebhard of Regensburg. End of the 11th century It was rebuilt by Emperor Henry IV and often changed hands. In 1188, she acquired Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa to create an important link between the imperial city of Nuremberg and the imperial palace of Eger.
Emperor Charles IV also used it to secure his Golden Street. The unassailable in the 30-year war castle fell later, the eponymous place at the foot of the basalt cone but still remained until 1806 administrative and Landrichtersitz.
A few years ago, Parkstein Park uncovered the mighty walls of the complex and, as far as possible, renovated it.
