This sign stands quite inconspicuously by the roadside and could use some color refreshment

https://saalburg-beach.com/537-2/ Beautiful campsite with a fine sandy beach. Bistro 42 is located by the water, serving food and drinks. It's beautifully lit in the evenings, and a small beach bar is open. The restrooms could be larger, more spacious, and more convenient.

"Today, the castle represents a focal point of cultural life in the West Vogtland town of Pausa-Mühltroff in the Mühltroff district. It was built as a lowland castle on a greenstone cliff. The castle's architectural gem is the medieval defense and watchtower. Also worth seeing is the "Black Kitchen." This old castle kitchen boasts one of the largest chimneys in the Saxon castle landscape, measuring approximately 21.5 meters. The castle houses a variety of club, event, and exhibition spaces, such as: The crank embroidery and jacquard weaving demonstration workshops The Eschke company exhibition The local history rooms The Vogtland costume association's traditional costume exhibition The art gallery with the MOMENTmal! exhibition The Rudolf Hirschberger Cabinet The "Memories of Mühltroff" exhibition Various events of different genres also take place. Individual tours from the cellar to the roof are also available outside of regular events by appointment." - https://www.schloss-muehltroff.de/

The massive boulder was discovered during civil engineering work in the early 1970s.

The castle was probably founded around 1200 by the Lords of Lobdeburg. It was first documented in 1367 as the "House of Schleiz" of the Reusses of Gera. After a fire (1482), Henry XII of Gera had a palace built on the same site. In 1550, it initially passed into the possession of the Burgrave of Meissen line of the Lords and Reusses of Plauen. From 1616, the castle belonged to Reuss Jr. From 1647 to 1848, it was the residence of the House of Reuss and Schleiz Jr.
