Hiking

If you do not want to walk the usual tourist route up to the monastery and castle complex Oybin, you should take the Knight Path. He leads through a fairly narrow crevice. In any case something for the eye.

Hiking

Access to the castle was via the knight's path along the scale mountain, on which traces of earlier use are still visible. The Knights Gorge, which is about 20 meters deep, had to be crossed, which was possible using a drawbridge at the lowest castle gate. The Ritterschlucht was spanned in 1890 with a new stone bridge, which was placed on the remains of an older bridge. During this time, the ascent over the mountain church was also created.
Great hiking trail to the castle.

Nice way up to the Oybin monastery. The Felsengasse is easy to walk on and really impressive.
