On the rocky summit of the 706 meter high Schwarzwihrberg stands the well-preserved ruins of Schwarzenburg. Although the castle was destroyed by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War, today it is again maintained and maintained by an association. The renovated keep is open and from its viewing platform offers you a unique panorama of the surrounding hills. In the upper courtyard, the club also operates a cozy mountain lodge, which is open on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Schwarzenburg Castle is a well-preserved castle ruin that is well worth seeing in a beautiful landscape. The facility can be visited all year round, the Schwarzwihrberghütte with beer garden is open in the afternoons from April to October. The accessible keep serves as a lookout tower. About the story: "Heinricus de Swarcenburc" was named as Vogt by the Sankt Emmeram monastery in Regensburg as early as 1050. The castle was given to the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg in 1332, who sold it to the Bohemian Pflug in 1404. The last owner of the Schwarzenburg is their most famous : The "wild Heinz" von Guttenstein ". The legends about the castle ruins are on a display board at the entrance to the castle.

Very great ruin with a pleasant tavern and festival time in summer. Unfortunately locked this winter, because all the big trees were felled inside. A pity
