The Goldsteig, with a total of 660 kilometers, is the longest and one of the most diverse certified hiking trails in Germany. It leads from Marktredwitz in the Fichtelgebirge to Passau, crossing the Oberpfälzer Wald and the Bavarian Forest.

At Christmas 1692, Hans Achatz von Lindenfels acquired the manor for 16,000 guilders. Commissioned by Margrave Christian Ernst of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, he had the church cleaned and renovated starting in 1693, and expanded again in the following years. The interior furnishings were completely renewed. The construction work was completed in 1702 under Hans Achatz von Lindenfels' son, Jobst Bernhard. In the same year, the rebuilt and redesigned church was consecrated by the Redwitz pastor, Georg Samuel Martius (1701–1740), and named "Church of the Holy Spirit." In 1897, an old, unplayable organ was sold. From autumn 1992 to spring 1993, the church underwent another comprehensive renovation, and in 1993 it received a new organ built by the Steinmeier company (Oettingen). ...] Two bells hang in the tower: a small Renaissance bell cast around 1600, and a bell cast in Eger in 1722 with the inscription Soli Deo Gloria ("To God alone be the glory") on its shoulder. Among the distinctive features of the predominantly Baroque interior is the wooden ceiling, divided into panels depicting alternating angels with instruments of the Passion and flowers with tendril patterns. The church also contains a pulpit altar, an organ without a case, and a pew. A large wooden epitaph to the left of the altar commemorates the Teuffel family of Birkensee, who owned property in the area at the beginning of the 18th century and left their coat of arms, held by an angel, on the pulpit altar. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilig-Geist-Kirche_(Oberredwitz)

St. Bartholomew's Church in Marktredwitz is probably the only church in Upper Franconia built largely of genuine marble—Wunsiedel marble! The natural stone used inside and out reflects the various construction and reconstruction phases of the church. The artfully crafted marble epitaphs on the church's exterior wall and in the nearby churchyard are also of cultural and local historical significance. Wunsiedel marble can also be found elsewhere in Marktredwitz. The oldest part of the Protestant town church is the plastered former keep, "Luginsland," on the northwest side. This is a remnant of the former castle of the Lords of Redwitz and was integrated into the first church building in 1384. The Gothic chancel was built around 1480. Sandstone was used for both the pointed-arch windows with their tracery and the buttresses. `` The nave is the only church built in Marktredwitz in Marktredwitz.
