Just outside Waldsassen, near the Mitterhof monastery estate, lies the Lourdes Grotto – an idyllic place of peace and prayer. It was built after the model of the famous Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, France, and solemnly consecrated on October 29, 1905. The initiator of the construction was the Waldsassen merchant's wife Anna Rockstroh, who felt a particular devotion to the veneration of Mary. The grotto is located directly on the well-developed hiking trail No. 8 and is easily accessible from Waldsassen on foot or by bicycle. Surrounded by forest and nature, it invites visitors to pause and enjoy the special atmosphere. Services and masses are held here several times a year, and it is also a popular place for personal reflection and quiet prayer. Today, the Lourdes Grotto is one of the most beautiful religious excursion destinations in the Stiftland region and impressively combines history, nature, and spirituality.

The history of Seeberg (Czech: Ostroh) dates back to the Bronze Age. Seeberg Castle was built around the year 1200 as the seat of one of the ministers from Eger on the site of a much older hillfort. The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1322 as part of the property that Ludwig IV of Bavaria pawned to King John of Luxembourg. Over the centuries, it had numerous owners and experienced devastating events, including the Swedish conquest in 1648 during the Thirty Years' War. Since 1990, the castle has been accessible to the public after reconstruction by the City Museum in Františkovy Lázně in the 1970s. Guided tours through exhibitions on various topics are offered. The divided castle sits enthroned on a rocky outcrop above the Slatinný stream. The forecourt is built with half-timbered houses from the 18th century. In the castle core, a Romanesque wall with a gate is partially preserved.
