The starting point of the four-kilometer hike with 150 meters of elevation gain is the hiking car park in Entschenreuth (Zum Wackelstein, 94163 Saldenburg-Entschenreuth). There is also a bus stop in the village. We follow the well-signposted circular hiking trail 84 for the entire tour. From the car park, we begin the hike on a forest path toward the edge of the forest. Right at the beginning, we pass a meadow with numerous knapweeds, which bloom well into autumn. If you look closely, you can see that the bright pink blossoms are surrounded by brown, scaly bracts, which together look a bit like a pineapple. After a few hundred meters, the path branches off to the left into the forest. From here, it's a steady climb, with some very steep sections awaiting us on the way to the Wackelstein. At the edge of the forest, you can hear a veritable concert of birds, and the call and song of a coal tit mingles with the great tits. At first, the forest is particularly idyllic, with numerous pines mingling with the beeches and spruces. A closer look at the forest floor is also worthwhile, as the heather is currently in bloom here. Gradually, the path becomes steeper and steeper, and after a while, the pines give way to a beech forest with large, moss-covered stones. Once at the top, it's worth taking a detour to the right to the wobbling stone. Can you make the stone, which weighs an estimated 50 tons, wobble? It's worth trying! The information board there tells you all about the origins of such natural phenomena. After this detour, we head back west, continuing along the Red 84 trail. Now the path descends steeply and gently. After a quarter of an hour, we pass an impressive rock formation, the Stone Church. Once at the bottom, we rejoin the same forest path at the edge of the forest, which we follow back to the parking lot. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/aktivitaeten/wandern/wandertipps/zum-wackelstein-bei-entschenreuth

The gatehouse and adjacent residential buildings in the outer bailey area are all that remain of the former castle. The inner courtyard is accessible. The parish church of St. Pancras, which originated from the castle chapel, stands on the site of the former main castle. It features Baroque statues and modern furnishings.
