View of Obermurach Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ruins of Haus Murach Castle are almost more impressive from a distance than up close, so you should take your time to enjoy this vantage point of the castle and Obermurach.

Murach Castle

Highlight • Castle

You can already see the ruins of Haus Murach near Oberviechtach from afar. The 20 meter high keep with its viewing platform offers impressive views of the Upper Palatinate Forest. The key to the keep is available from the burgwart Manfred Senft, Obermurach 58, Tel. 09671/91234.

Every year on the 1st Sunday in August, the Hausern Castle Festival attracts numerous visitors.

At the former train station in Oberviechtach there is a historic technical treat - not just for railway enthusiasts. One of the oldest Hanomag locomotives still preserved in the world has found its well-deserved resting place in an architecturally exceptionally successful "glass locomotive shed". The B-coupler, i.e. two axles, was built in the Hanomag works in 1899 under the number 3427. Its design corresponds to the first Bockerln that served on the Nabburg-Oberviechtach-Schönsee railway line from 1904 onwards.

The Nabburg-Oberviechtach route was opened on August 18, 1904, and the last train ran on October 15, 1994. But thanks to entrepreneur Siegfried Rossmann, there are no ruins in Oberviechtach, but a beautiful station building. In 2012, the completion of the exterior renovation was celebrated. Since then, the special feature of the station has been the "Hanomag" locomotive from 1899, which is reminiscent of railway history in a glass locomotive shed.
