Weißenstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

From the plate you reach a path to the castle ruin Weissenstein. The descent is demanding and full of technical passages. But if you come there, you can enjoy a wonderful view on the castle ruins.

At an altitude of 946 meters, the Oberpfalz tower offers an ingenious panoramic view of the region. In good weather you can see all the way to the Bavarian Forest! Ideal for taking a break and enjoying the view.

Krambambuli Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The 650m long route with difficulty level S2 is quite challenging. The trail is partly blocked with beautiful drops and is nice to ride; the trail is well integrated into the terrain and runs from the Platte to the Steinwaldpilz.

From the Oberpfalzturm to the Fichtelnaab, one trail follows the other, partly stony and partly rooty 😍

You should look for booking🤔. Or something like that. In any case, I was able to shelter for 10 minutes at the first ascent to the Weißenstein ruins. A rain cloud. And she wanted me 😅. Otherwise again a nice round through the even more beautiful Stoawold.

Shooting around in the Stoawold is always awful 🤘
Up, down, up, down, up, and then finally down 😎
