Wolfstein Castle, built around 1200 by the Bishop of Passau, Wolfger von Erla, served as a fortification, administrative seat, and episcopal hunting lodge. Today, the most important architectural monument in the Freyung-Grafenau district primarily served to protect the new settlements and the northern border of the former abbey lands. The town's landmark houses the extensively modernized Hunting-Land-River Museum, which reopened in October 2014. An information center for the major protected areas of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest National Parks, the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, and the Sumava Landscape Conservation Area has also been established. Touching and trying things out is permitted at the Hunting-Land-River Museum: Slip into princely robes and become the lord of the castle yourself, escape a hawk hunting you, see like an owl in the night, and compete in the long jump with the forest animals. The museum presents the themes of nature, ecology, and cultural history in a modern and interactive way, captivating visitors across the board. The Hunting-Land-River Museum is a highlight of the cultural landscape of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest – and it's located in the heart of Freyung! The National Park and Nature Park Information Center displays, among other things, a large model of the Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest. https://www.freyung.de/de/kultur-und-kulinarik/sehenswertes/schloss-wolfstein-mit-museum.html

Definitely worth a detour. The castle stands on a wooded hill, and you only notice it when you're standing right in front of it. Very well hidden...

former castle, now part district office and part museum

Can be done as a detour from the hiking trail at a bend in the Ilz. There are small trails leading up from the river, which can be used as a shortcut or to extend the tour.

The well-known local poet Emerenz Meier wrote the dark and depressing poem "The Last Lord of Kaltenstein" about this place: Evening falls on Kaltenstein. A little star twinkles above the battlements. The mist rolls around the tower, which has already defied many a storm. The dark green circle of the firs Rusts its eternally serious melody, which gently penetrates the hall, to the last Lord of Kaltenstein. And down by the row of elms the golden path leads narrowly past. Many hikers pass there, they hurry to their destination of rest. There are many who stop their course and look questioningly up at the castle. No friendly light invites you to the last Lord of Kaltenstein. The forest is large and wild and wide. The maiden asks for an escort. Will no knight then capture her through the dreaded territory? The Kaltensteiner is named in a word, who was once a strong refuge for the weak. She knocks and begs, and then she hears “No!” In the gloomy hall of Kaltenstein. “All of you wanderers, leave me in peace! Go, maiden, without a guide. My castle is rotten, my arm is weak, my heart broke years ago. My family was famous and great, then decay became its bitter fate. Now the last Lord of Kaltenstein dies, forgotten and alone!”
