    The mountain named after the cross on the spur point was originally called Keystone.

      Very beautiful castle stables on a rocky spur with summit cross and views of EBS and the valley.
      The structural structure of the plant is still clearly visible with the two neck trenches. Facility and historical background are very well explained on an information board.

        All historical sources are silent about the Castle Castle Keystone. The name itself indicates the former possession of those from the key mountain. However, since the castle is not mentioned in any list of ownership after the end of the Schlüsselbergs in 1347, the complex must have been demolished beforehand.
        In any case, you have a wonderful view of the Wiesentthal from there.
