The Jochensteiners and Johannsteiners were probably servants of the Lords of Griesbach, who in turn had their ancestral seat in nearby Untergriesbach. The Griesbachers were wealthy in the area during the 12th and 13th centuries. The castle was probably built during the first half of the 12th century, the name of the castle first appears in 1222, the castle nobility was only mentioned in 1264 as Alkherus de Jokenstein. In 1269 an Eswain von Jochenstein was mentioned. At the turn of the century, the Bishopric of Passau was granted the right to use the castle, later it was sold to the bishopric in its entirety. It is not certain which of the two castles was meant, but it was probably Neujochenstein Castle. Altjochenstein Castle was probably abandoned during the 13th century, and the Jochensteiners probably died out in the 14th century. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgruine_Altjochenstein

The path to the castle ruins is not that easy. First it goes steeply downhill, then a little up and down until you are standing in front of it. At the ruins there are signs warning of falling rocks. The ruins look as if they could collapse at any moment. But it's worth it!

From Falkenstein, Schlägl Abbey and the district capital Rohrbach were founded.

Here you can cycle in a relaxed manner
