There are two Napoleon hats in the Fichtel Mountains: one here on the way to Waldstein and one in the rock labyrinth. You need a bit of imagination to recognize the bicorn hat in both cases.

Right next to the Waldsteinhaus rises a mighty rock face containing the remains of the surrounding walls of the former main castle, the "Red Castle." Stone steps through the castle gate lead to the inner courtyard, which formerly housed various buildings (a gatehouse, a residential tower, and a cistern). The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lords of Sparneck; it was destroyed by the Swabian League in midsummer 1523. In the summer of 2024, the "Red Castle" was renovated and is now open to visitors again.

The Arnsteinfels was already one of the popular viewing points on the Waldstein in the 17th century. The name is derived from the earlier names "Narrenstein" and later "Arnstein", although the origin of both can no longer be determined today. The wide panorama offers a clear view from left to right of Zell in the Fichtelgebirge, the Haidberg, Reinersreuth and Sparneck. The towns of Münchberg and Helmbrechts can be seen in the distance.
