The ancestral home of the Lords of Liebenstein, who emerged from the middle of the 12th century. The building was built around 1100 on a rock spur made of "ice granite" above the Waldnaab. In 1430 the Hussites camped under the castle, and the castle has fallen into disrepair since the middle of the 17th century. After the city fire of 1814, the citizens of Tirschenreuth took many stones from the ruins.
It is a relatively large complex; the few visible remains of the wall were recently excavated and renovated.

If you are not deterred by the road, you come to a rock spur from "Eisgranit" high above the Waldnaab. The building was built around 1100, around 1430 the Hussites camped under the castle. The few visible remains of the wall were recently excavated and renewed.

Not always accessible. Last season was very often closed off for the backup work. In addition, in the summer when staying please pay attention to the ticks. Our dogs were so littered, as no longer
