Wolkenstein Castle
Dream Castle in the Clouds

Wolkenstein Castle rises high above the drifting fog of the Zschopau Valley in the Ore Mountains. The medieval castle was expanded into a residential palace for the Wettins to relax near the Warmbad spring and pursue their passion for hunting game in the surrounding forests. The picturesque ensemble is now a popular photo backdrop with a surprising variety of motifs in such a small space. The Wolkenstein Castle Museum houses an exhibition where visitors can discover the »Land of the Amethysts« and learn all about life in the past. It’s also worth visiting the fragrant herb garden and watching majestic demonstrations from the Saxon Eagle and Hunting Falcon Farm. You can continue your hunt for adventure and discovery on numerous hiking, biking and climbing routes in the local area.
