ホーンシュタインの洞窟・トップ20

Awesome view of the valley and Hohenstein. Fantastic.

Nice view of the castle.

Great view of Hohnstein & its fortress.

If you stand here and look down into the valley, you will witness the constant change that our forests are going through. Once green and vibrant, many trees now show brown marks, signs of the bark beetle that has wreaked havoc in this area. But even if this scene makes the heart heavy, the view is still impressive. Secured by a railing, the view here is no less impressive in its melancholy - and it is also safe for children to access. The silence that surrounds the valley is broken by the majestic view of Hohnstein with its imposing castle, which stands proudly on a rock opposite. And further back, the picturesque Polenztal valley meanders along. A panorama that, in its beauty and at the same time in its vulnerability, conveys a powerful message: nature is in constant change, and it is in our hands how this story continues.

The castle can be visited free of charge, very beautiful and interesting vantage points to discover and the lookout tower is freely accessible....

Hohnstein Castle is located on a rocky outcrop (high stone) above the Polenz Valley. Around 1300, sovereign rights were recorded on the “Hohen Stein”.

There is an interesting historical story behind the castle.

Beautiful view of Hohnstein Castle and down in Polenztal
