Great castle. Viewed from the outside. There is a great path along the left side of the castle, where you come out at the top and go back down via the stairs.

Flagship project Falkenberg Castle in the Upper Palatinate! With the museum, convention center, as well as the castle hotel. burg-falkenberg.bayern
Falkenberg is located near Tirschenreuth in the northeast of the Upper Palatinate. In 1154, a "Pilgrin de Valkenberch" is mentioned for the first time. Pilgrim was probably the brother of Ulrich von Liebenstein and came from Eger. Both were originally ministries of Margrave Diepold III. from Cham and Vohburg. The soon rich family of Falkenberger can be traced to the 13th century, the last representative is likely to be the knight Konrad II of Falkenberg, which emerges in 1252 for the last time in a document. Lack of money had already forced the Falkenberger to sell their extensive goods gradually to the Leuchtenberger and the monastery Waldsassen. The castle rock is a unique geotope: Falkenberger granite with Feldspateinsprenglingen, which is present in "Wollsack" -like weathering condition. Similar structures can be admired at the nearby and very interesting ruin Weißenstein.
