Egloffstein is absolutely worth seeing and has a lot to offer

Before 1180, Egloffstein Castle can be identified as the ancestral home of the Lords of Egloffstein. However, the first documented mentions only come from the years 1180 and 1184, in which Salmann was called “Henricus de Hegelofuesten” or “Heinricus de Agilulfi lapide” (from Latin lapide, stone). In 1509 the castle became a fiefdom of the bishops of Bamberg, but it remained in the possession of the von Egloffstein family to this day. In 1525 the town of Egloffstein was burned down in the Peasants' War, and in 1561 the Reformation gained a foothold in Egloffstein. The place was burned down twice during the Thirty Years' War. He came to Bavaria in the course of secularization in Bavaria. The associated town of Bieberbach was temporarily held by Hans von Streitberg in the second half of the 16th century.[4][5] 20th and 21st centuries In 1956 the title of climatic health resort was awarded and three years later Egloffstein was declared a market town.

Nice climb but quite slippery now in winter. Sticks are helpful.

The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited, only the tower and the former Vogthaus still exist. At the tower itself there is a small viewing platform with information boards about the 14th century castle, you have to walk about 50m. You can see the castle very well from the cemetery.

Beautiful place with a castle, an impressive church and a brewery restaurant Elch-Bräu

The path starts opposite the evangelical church.

The way up to the castle and church is also worthwhile, even if you don't have a good view of the whole on site. A little below, at the Komtessenstieg, you have a beautiful view.
