Luisenburg Rock Labyrinth

Highlight • Natural Monument

The rock labyrinth is an adventure for all ages. Here, you not only hike between the impressive rock faces, but also sometimes have to crawl through tiny holes or climb narrow stairs to follow the circular path through the rock formations. For everyone's safety, please observe the one-way system.

A staircase made of rock: each step is different. It is a bit narrow, it is steep, but walking up here is also a very special experience.

Along the circular path through the rock labyrinth, there are numerous beautiful viewing platforms and rock formations. It's best to climb them all and enjoy them. They offer wonderful photo opportunities.

Luisenburg Rock Labyrinth near Wunsiedel

Highlight • Natural Monument

There are plenty of roots and stones in the beautiful rock labyrinth. It is important to wear sturdy hiking shoes with a tread when visiting. The stones can be slippery.

A nice view from the built platform on a rock. The small detour is worthwhile and is not quite as crowded.

Little Haberstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

Both the small and the large Haberstein lie in the massif of the Kössine. The Big Haberstein is about 200 meters away from the little one, if you want to get a little more air.

At 785 meters, the Luisenburg cross rock is the highest point in the rock labyrinth of the Luisenburg. A climb up to the wooden cross is worthwhile.

Goethe Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was so fascinated by the rock labyrinth that he visited it in 1785 and 1820. He wanted to research how these rock giants were formed. His saying: "The granite won't let me go" became a popular saying. Goethe made extensive sketches and detailed studies of some of the rock formations.

Yesterday, to round off our short vacation in the Fichtel Mountains: a hike through the Luisenburg Castle.
The Luisenburg Castle is Europe's largest rock labyrinth, a vast sea of rocks made up of countless rocks, stones, caves, passages, and tunnels, some as large as skyscrapers. Named after Queen Luise, this sea of rocks and stones has been explored since the …

The Blockmeer, named after Queen Luise, has been open to tourists since the 18th century and is also known today for the natural stage framed by the rocks and the annual Luisenburg Festival.

It was a nice couple of hours, the backpack shouldn't be that big, you often have to make yourself small. When it's wet it's really very slippery …

Parking costs €3 per day.
The entrance fee for a family ticket is €14.
We hiked the rock labyrinth to the end, and then continued on to the Habersteine. On the way back we entered the rock labyrinth again so that we could walk the circular route back there.
It is a very beautiful tour.
Sturdy shoes are recommended, especially …

The labyrinth is a must, take the yellow arrows and take a good look around, there are great things to discover. After more than 2 hours we did a little round with the three stones. Definitely worth it.

Beautiful hike through Europe's largest rock labyrinth. The hike can be extended in all directions, invites you to take a break with great views and is worth a trip

Rock circuit in the Fichtelgebirge in the best running weather. We parked in Wunsiedel right above Luisenburg (3 euros). Before walking up the stairs to the Luisenburg entrance, we turned right to the hiking trails. The climb to Haberstein is over stones and roots, and the view at the top makes up for the effort. There is a rest area …

On our journey to the Erzgebig region we made a stopover in Franconia near Wunsiedel with an impressive circuit. The Luisenburg rock labyrinth with the largest sea of granite stones in Europe. Huge boulders surrounded by caves and gorges define this unique landscape setting in the middle of the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park. The well-rounded shapes of the individual blocks were …
