Located directly in the old town center on a one-way street, but unfortunately closed

Overwhelming view of the castle perched on the rocky plateau

A beautifully decorated castle with an impressive round table.

1000-year-old castle, very beautiful location with a wonderful view of the town and countryside from the park-like garden of the upper castle. Palas with three fully furnished showrooms, vault with objects from the Thirty Years' War, militaria, etc., well house with household goods and tithe barn from 1580/81 with exhibitions on tithes, the more recent (the private owners since 1878) and the older history of the castle (since 2004: "Botho Count Palatine of Carinthia, Count of Pottenstein 1027 - 1104"). In addition, since the commemorative year 2007, the new large panel exhibition "Crown, Bread and Roses. 800 Years of Elisabeth of Thuringia (1207-2007)" has been permanently on display in Elisabeth's protective castle in Franconia. Pottenstein Castle was the only exhibition location for this show (32 panels) in Bavaria. The memorial room in the oldest part of the palace also commemorates the whereabouts of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia in 1228. Owned by the Thuringian family Freiherr von Wintzingerode since 1918, it belonged to the diocese of Bamberg for almost 700 years until 1803. More about the first lord of the castle, the Aribonen Botho, who called himself Count of Pottenstein in 1070 and was a confidant of Emperor Henry IV.

The castle embodies Pottenstein's landmark and is well worth a visit.

A beautiful rocky path leads along the water from Pottenstein to the Teufelshöhle.

Very nice, narrow path interspersed with boulders along above the Teufelsee.

The Himmelsleiter is a 37m high observation tower with a great panoramic view of the forests in the Pottenstein area. Pottenstein Castle is 1.2 km away. There is no entrance fee and it is closed in winter. The tower is in the middle of the best hiking area.iter -
