The destination isn't worthwhile. The remains of the ruins are completely overgrown. Therefore, you don't get a complete overview and have no long-distance view.

Buchberg Castle Ruins The first representative of the Puchbergs, who can certainly be referred to this place, was Otto I, first mentioned in 1196. The family originally belonged to the Diepoldinger ministeriality, and from 1204 to the Wittelsbacher. Relationships with the Bogeners arose from the widely scattered family property. In 1301, Hildebrand II sold the last remaining share of the castle to Duke Otto III of Lower Bavaria. The focus of the family's possessions now shifted to southern Lower Bavaria. The ancestral castle is said to have been pledged by the dukes to Rudlant Göttlinger in 1320. It was last mentioned in 1331 during the division of Lower Bavaria. It was then possibly used by the Göttlingers as a starting point for raids and destroyed or abandoned by the citizens of Cham. As early as 1347, grazing and usage rights were mentioned on the Buchberg, and in 1470 forests and a former castle. After its abandonment or destruction after 1331, it served as a quarry until recently. The oval complex, with a total length of 150 m and a maximum width of 60 m, is divided into an outer and main castle. The former occupies the highest peak covered with granite blocks at the southern end of the castle hill. To the north-northwest it is secured by a moat up to 12 m wide with an outer rampart, some of which has been preserved. The egg-shaped interior of the main castle measures approx. 50 x 40 m. The lower western part was protected by a ring wall that made clever use of the terrain, a 17 m long section of which has been preserved. The higher part of the castle was surrounded by its own ring wall, some of which can be seen. The southern part of the area was occupied by a large, multi-room building. At the highest point is the base of the keep. To the north-northwest, the main castle is adjoined by a plateau up to 20 m wide. In front of this is a ditch-like structure about 70 m long. It runs into the slope in the east and leaves the access to the main castle free in the west. Overall, the structure of the complex is not easy to understand due to the heavy vegetation. After 1997, the few remaining parts were secured. Source: Extracts from www.ebidat.de

The Buchberg castle ruins, also known as Schlossberg, are located on a 563-meter-high hill on the Buchberg. The Counts of Bogen built the castle in the 12th century and the Lords of Puchberg joined them later. The castle was destroyed in the 14th century and today only the stump of the keep and the remains of the walls remain.

Frauenstein Castle Ruins The village of Weiding belonged to the Frauenstein lordship in hereditary servitude, about whose beginnings nothing is known. In the second half of the 13th century, Duke Heinrich of Lower Bavaria bought Frauenstein from Fredrich the Siegenhofer. This source states that the area around the village of Weiding, which had a brick church, was largely deserted. In the 14th century, the Frauenstein lordship and thus Weiding became a fief of the King of Bohemia. The Satzenhofers, Zengers, Fuchs and the Lords of Murach followed as further owners. In 1512, Hans von Selbitz (knight, friend of Götz von Berlichingen) appears as the owner of Frauenstein Castle. On January 29, 1580, Emperor Rudolf II enfeoffed Andreas Georg von Murach auf Kürnberg und Winklarn and his wife Anna, daughter of the late Hans Fuchs zum Schneeberg, with the two desolate castles Frauenstein and Reichenstein, today preserved as the Reichenstein castle ruins, the small town of Schönsee and the villages of Weiding and others. On November 26, 1605, Hans Friedrich Fuchs received an imperial letter of fief. His hereditary possessions included the castles Frauenstein and Reichenstein, the town of Schönsee, Weiding, Pondorf, Gaisthal, Schönau, Stadlern and Schwand with the iron hammer. Today, unfortunately, only a few remains of the walls in a romantic location remain. Only the tip of an entrance arch protrudes from the overgrown piles of rubble. A little higher up, further east, a wall remains that is about to collapse rises from the collapsed material. Large piles of bricks lie everywhere. The whole thing impressively shows the decay of a castle and looks a bit like a sunken fairytale castle. Source: www.wikipedia.de

Frauenstein, one of the five mysterious vanishing points of the early Middle Ages - next to Hirštejn (Czech Republic, between Závist (Neid) and Nemanice (Wassersuppen)), Reichenstein (between Stadlern and Ebene or Böhmerwaldturm, Drachenturm (Treffelstein) and Thanstein. You have to experience them all with all their secrets in order to get to the bottom of the secrets of the “Schwarzachtaler holiday region 🤣).

A beautiful and well-preserved ruin. Signs on the walls indicate its former function. From the palace there is a beautiful view of the complex and the surrounding area.

Kürnberg Castle Ruins The Kürnberg ruins are hidden on a wooded hill about a kilometer northeast of Stamsried. The Kürners originally come from the town of Kürn, which lies between Regensburg and Nittenau. In 1346, Dietrich II received Stamsried as a fief from Count Palatine Ruprecht II and subsequently shifted the focus of his rule there. The land probably originally belonged to the Bishop of Bamberg, whose bailiffs were the Palatines in this area. In 1354, Dietrich received permission to build Kürnberg Castle on the Heitberg near Stamsried, and from then on he and his descendants called themselves Kürner von Kürnberg. They sold their home castle to the Paulsdorfers in 1394. Other Kürners subsequently appeared again and again as cathedral canons in Regensburg. In 1422, Hans Kürner was the last person to live in Kürnberg. He sold the castle to Ulrich Warberger in 1423. In 1499, the castle came to Ludwig von Habsberg, who had it expanded once again for the use of firearms. In 1532, the Murachers took over, but they later stopped living in Kürnberg. In 1634, during the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes conquered Stamsried and besieged and destroyed the castle. Since then, it has been abandoned, and the seat of power has moved to Strahlfeld. At the end of the 1970s, extensive security measures were taken on the castle ruins. Kürnberg is one of the most recently founded castles in the wider area. Its state of preservation is rare in the Upper Palatinate: extensive remains of the walls of the gate tower, battery tower, wall, chapel, wall towers and palace have been preserved. There is no keep, which is typical of a castle of the late Middle Ages. The tower-like palace took over the role of the last point of refuge. The beautiful location, the unique view from the palace and the good state of preservation make Kürnberg an ideal destination. The area is ideal for hikes, and a forest adventure trail leads around the castle hill. There is a fireplace in the courtyard of the outer bailey. Source: www.burgenseite.de

The former Grafenried (cz Lučina) is one of these villages. It stood on a small hill near the German border (today the Untergrafenried border crossing) west of Nemanice. After the end of World War II, the German population was deported from the border area and the village was destroyed. Excavations are still taking place in the village, a visit is great at any time of year and also nice for children
