Hiking

Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian had the castle built in 1347 to repel raids from Bohemia. The castle was stormed and partly destroyed in 1498. In 1865 the so-called Schellenberg-Niggl, the last inhabitant of the castle grounds, left the Schellenberg. Today the castle ruins, which are located at 826 meters, are the highest vantage point in the Upper Palatinate.

The ruin Schellenberg is an insider tip for hikers and nature lovers. The harsh climate (average annual 5.7 ° C, well below the average for Bavaria) and the virginity have received a remarkable fauna and flora.

Interesting castle ruins with a great view (viewing platform) on a striking rock formation. At the castle ruin Schellenberg there is also a small, shady rest area and a well-made information board about the castle ruin.
