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.

Kiebitzstein Rock Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the most beautiful stone formations in the Steinwald, the ascent to Weißenstein via this path is a bit more demanding but definitely worthwhile.
