Wolkenstein Castle is a high medieval castle that was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. The town and castle stand on gneiss rocks 80 meters above the Zschopautal. Wolkenstein owes its existence to the sound of the mountains. That is, the discovery of ore deposits. The settlement and ore mining is older than that of Annaberg-Buchholz.

Post Distance Column Wolkenstein

Highlight • Monument

The distance column from 1730 stands on the edge of the market square, some original parts are in the castle and the top of the column was bricked up in a building in Kirchgasse. The column was restored in 2002 and looks very good. Right next to the pillar is an information board about the pillar itself and the big things around it.
