Marktredwitz

Highlight • Settlement

Marktredwitz has a pretty old town that invites you to stroll. Particularly worth seeing is the historic town hall from 1384, which was created by converting an old castle complex.

Beautiful cycle path that was built as part of the cross-border garden show in 2006. The northern route begins on Marktredwitz's local mountain, the Kösseine, and leads along the rivers Kösseine, Röslau and Eger via the towns of Marktredwitz and Arzberg to the Schirnding border crossing. From there it continues to the town of Eger. The southern route goes from Marktredwitz via Waldershof (Steinwald), Pechbrunn, Mitterteich, Hofteich, Altenhammer, Waldsassen and Slapany with the town of Cheb (Eger) in the Czech Republic.

Margrave Diepold III Fountain, Waldsassen

Highlight • Monument

The fountain was originally erected in 1921 as the first war memorial for those who died in World War I. After a new war memorial was erected opposite in 1961, the fountain functions as a Diepold fountain, named after the founder of the monastery, Margrave Diepold, who is enthroned on the column.

Waldsassen Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

An impressive church. The church interior has a total length of 82 meters. Just worth seeing. The parish church of the Assumption of Mary and St. John the Evangelist in Waldsassen, Bavaria, was built in its current form from 1685 to 1704 as an abbey church and belongs to the Waldsassen monastery.
