    Hiking

    The earliest documented mention of the name Greiz to date appears in a document from the year 1209, which lists burgmannen (castle retainers) from Greiz. It can be assumed that the Greiz castle was built significantly earlier. Evidence for this is the double chapel rediscovered during ongoing restoration work and dendrochronological dating from 1188. This exceptionally significant finding sheds completely new light on the importance of the Greiz castle complex in the 12th century.
