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

This road takes you along a well-paved road over the ridge and through the forest. If you're carrying the momentum downhill, you'll need to be careful at the junction, as it changes to firm, light gravel for about 300m. After that, there's a barrier. At the next village entrance, there's a constant layer of gravel. In the village of Lange, you can easily bypass the construction site on the left.
