グルンバッハの洞窟・トップ8

The last stop on the rock circuit is the rock in the middle of the city. You can climb it via a staircase and enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the city, church, and town hall.

In the middle of the city, there's a rock to climb. You should do that, too. It offers a beautiful view of the city and the countryside.

The Trützschlers had the castle built around 1600 at the foot of the small "fortified castle" located on the neighboring rock. It was expanded and remodeled over the following centuries. On August 12, 1859, it burned down and was rebuilt in a modified form. In 1926, the family sold their ancestral home to the town, and since 1930, the building has housed the Falkenstein Local History Museum and the savings bank. The Vogtland Savings Bank, as the owner, had the building renovated and remodeled between 1992 and 1997. https://stadt-falkenstein.de/freizeit-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/schloss-falkenstein

Here you can enjoy a pleasant view over the whole of Auerbach and, during beer garden season, also enjoy a pleasant "refreshment".

Well, more of a ruin than a castle. Overgrown and not accessible. But the castle pond is quite nice and offers a place to rest.

You can get the key to climb the tower at the tourist information or the museum during their opening hours. Entry costs €1. Then you can unlock 3 doors, turn on the light and go up the 179 steps, mostly in the form of a spiral staircase. At the top you have a very good all-round view through 8 windows.

The castle was built in 1734 by Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld. It was once the manor house of a hammer and mill estate, which was built around 1460. The von Trützschler family is also known to be the owner. The Lower Castle was extensively renovated between 1993 and 1995. This resulted in residential and commercial spaces. The Lower Castle is privately owned and inhabited. Source: https://sachsens-schloesser.de/ellefeld-unteres-schloss-ellefeld/
