The last stop on the rock circuit is the rock in the middle of the city. You can climb it via a staircase and enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the city, church, and town hall.

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. https://stadt-falkenstein.de/freizeit-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/schloss-falkenstein

If you don't want to cross the road directly, the bridge is a better alternative.

A recreational oasis for young and old – just behind the Lower Castle at the entrance to Ellefeld from the direction of Auerbach. The area is located at the entrance to Ellefeld along the Weiße Göltzsch River and borders the Ellefeld Kinderwelt daycare center. Recreational opportunities for residents of Ellefeld and surrounding communities have been significantly improved.
