Wolkenstein Castle is a high medieval castle that was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. The town and castle stand on gneiss rocks 80 meters above the Zschopau valley. Wolkenstein owes its existence to the "Berggeschrei" (the cries of the mountain), that is, the discovery of the ore deposits. The settlement and ore mining is older than that of Annaberg-Buchholz.

The deep valley with exposed gneiss is the result of the erosion of the Zschopau, which rises on the Fichtelberg and has been flowing in a northerly direction with a greater gradient since the uplift of the Ore Mountains block in the Tertiary period, and flows into the Freiberg Mulde near Döbeln. Steep, often bizarre rock faces are created on steep slopes by the increased flow speed. The most impressive formation is probably an overhanging cliff.

Burg Wolkenstein, commonly called Schloss Wolkenstein, is a high medieval castle in the town of Wolkenstein in the Erzgebirge district in Saxony (Germany). Since 1963 there is u. a. the Selva Castle Museum.

Meeting point, rest area and event area at the Homeward .... a detour is always worthwhile.

I visited the castle on a via ferrata tour. Well restored, not too built up.

Here you will find a snack bar and a large playground, in the warm months a small train runs. Events are also held here from time to time.

Stunning views even in the rain

In the castle there is a museum and the tourist information.
