Wenceslas Castle, Lauf an der Pegnitz

Highlight • Castle

There was already a castle in Lauf in the 12th century, but it was destroyed at the beginning of the 14th century. It was only around 50 years later, namely in 1353, that the later Emperor Karl acquired the area on the Pegnitz and a few years later had a new imperial residence built on the site of the old castle. Since the emperor as the Bohemian king also bore the name Wenceslas, the castle soon became known as the Wenceslas Castle. Wenceslas, the national saint of Bohemia, is also shown as a portrait above the main gate of the castle.

You can explore the castle and its premises either on your own or as part of a guided tour.

Opening times: Info point: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Castle: Wednesday to Friday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on weekends 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

View from Glatzenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rock massif of the Glatzenstein. Below the lookout rock there is a cave that was already used in prehistoric times. From the viewing platform you can enjoy a wonderful view that makes you forget the hardship of the ascent.

Archaeological Hiking Trail – Medieval Lime Kiln

Highlight • Historical Site

At this station you will find the foundations of a rural lime kiln. An annular masonry built into the slope. Here is another information board hints. This is a so-called cupola furnace for burning lime, the precursor of cement. Its foundation was built into the mountainside for practical reasons to counteract the pressure of operating the furnace, thus preventing it from bursting and breaking up. The circular foundation had an opening down to the bottom to remove ash and spent embers.

Bitterbach Gorge near Lauf

Highlight • Gorge

S03 single trail
A mega piece of forest !!!
But watch out, you need advanced driving techniques here.
40cm heels at roots, inclined driving on unpaved ground and no fall protection towards the creek challenge you as well as pedestrians, because it is very narrow here.
So always drive with foresight and let others have the right of way ... in the fine English way :)

A great trail that you have to see (not just once)! I say it will be in the top 10 in the region!

February 5, 2023,Glatzenstein – Festung Rothenberg Runde von Ludwigshöhe

I thought I'd start at dusk today. It's just nicer to drive when nobody's on the road. The thermometer surprised me a bit with -6 degrees and also that there is still so much snow or ice in the forest and at the fortress ❄️☃️.
But it was still a great trip with mega beautiful impressions. Snow and sun is …
