Labyrinth tower in Theresienstein Park

Highlight • Monument

In the easternmost and oldest part of Theresienstein Park, on Labyrinth Hill, stands the Labyrinth Ruins. As early as the 17th century, a maze had existed here, created by a Hof teacher for his students. Starting in 1861, city architect Gottlob Thomas developed the idea of creating the ruins of a medieval castle here—in keeping with the spirit of the times. This castle complex, built from 1877 to 1893 as a ruin, consists of a bastioned circular structure and a keep, which is actually an observation tower. The 16-meter-high tower is open to the public and a popular vantage point for Hof residents. Seventy steps lead to the viewing platform, from which one can view the surrounding area of Hof and the Saxon Vogtland region.

Diabase Quarry at Labyrinthberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

The diabase quarry on Labyrinthberg was once famous for its cat's eye quartz, a coveted semi-precious stone. An information board explains the creation. The diabase break was named "Bavarian Rock of the Year" in 2017 by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment. The diabase ("meta-basalt") was created in the course of several submarine volcanic eruptions in the Devonian geological age about 380 million years ago. The cat's-eye quartz crystals previously found here in the diabase were processed into jewelry by Hofer jewelers. The cat's eye cult in the vicinity reminds of this.

Hof Zoo

Highlight • Structure

The Hof Zoo is located on the edge of the Theresienstein city park and is not just a zoo. There are i.a. a natural history garden with native flora, a geological garden with 80 types of rock and mineral, and in an earth house you can see the grass growing from below from the perspective of a mole. In the attractive zoo you can see around one hundred species of animals from all continents, many of the enclosures are designed to be accessible so that direct contact with the animals is possible.
