Hiking

A staircase leads up to the rock. You have a great view from the platform.

The Trützschlers had the castle built around 1600 at the foot of the small "fortified castle" located on the neighboring rock. It was expanded and remodeled over the following centuries. On August 12, 1859, it burned down and was rebuilt in a modified form. In 1926, the family sold their ancestral home to the town, and since 1930, the building has housed the Falkenstein Local History Museum and the savings bank. The Vogtland Savings Bank, as the owner, had the building renovated and remodeled between 1992 and 1997.

Hiking

In the middle of the city, there's a rock to climb. You should do that, too. It offers a beautiful view of the city and the countryside.
