    The old knight's fortress is, alongside the Englburg and Fürstenstein castles, the third castle in the Ilztal and Dreiburgenland holiday region in the Bavarian Forest.

    History of the knight's fortress & youth hostel

    1368: Knight Heinrich Tuschl zu Söldenau received a fiefdom with the requirement to build a fortress on the nearby mountain. This is how the Saldenburg (sälde = happiness) was created, which is also affectionately known locally as the forest lantern.
    Over the centuries, the castle complex changed hands many times and was involved in many conflicts.
