뮌히베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

I always feel comfortable at Lake Weißenstadt.

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.

This special natural monument was created thousands of years ago. The Steinach River ate deeper and deeper through an extremely hard volcanic rock, which is called “quartz keratophyre”. The Steinachklamm geotope with its steep slopes and the narrow section of the gorge south of Wildenstein is definitely worth seeing.

Enjoying the view with the bikes around the lake is recommended 😍

Very nice bathing lake. It's worth a visit.

Old ruin in the forest. Very nice to watch and relax.

The Großer Waldstein in the Fichtelgebirge has a wow effect for me, the mighty rock formations just amaze you. The summit plateau is easy to reach and has a wonderful view in all directions. Since there is a hiking parking lot directly below, it is a good starting point for many hikes.

The Epprechtstein castle ruins are always worth a visit on a hike, if only because of the breathtaking view and the flair of the region. On our last tour we used the time to take a break.
