Scharfenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Restored in 1998 as the first castle in Saxony - great toy museum and great views from the tower into the Zschopautal for 1 euro.

We enter the forest again, the Zschopau River accompanies us for a moment, and then we climb step by step.

Continuing along the path, we look again over the village of Scharfenstein and across to the castle.
