Leupoldsdorf Hammer Mill Castle

Highlight • Castle

The hammer lock with the ponds belonging to it in the district Leupoldsdorf is a listed building. With extensive renovation and reconstruction measures, the facility has again been staged and is now a new tourist destination.
In the gatehouse, a tourist information center has been created with an attached exhibition on the topic of hammer lock and hammer lords. The grounds were renovated and restored the historically occupied garden. For this purpose, vacant buildings were demolished and reconstructed on the site of a formal gardens on old plans occupied. At the same time, the former mill race was uncovered again. This created an attractive spa park, which extends the tourist offer of our community.

The former Leupoldsdorf station was the terminus of the Wunsiedel - Leupoldsdorf railway line, which was inaugurated on November 7, 1913. For a long time, the railway line was the only means of public transport for the population and an important means of transport for the granite industry based here. The last scheduled passenger train ran on September 27, 1972. In autumn 1981 the station building was demolished. On May 23, 1993, the line was shut down.

Village Bell of Rauschensteig

Highlight • Monument

In the small village of Rauschensteig stands a powerful village bell, which was once baptized in the name of "faith" and had previously performed its ministry in the church in nearby Röslau. The village bell received a new dignified home here in 1999 in a specially constructed bell house and is a gem in the village center next to the pond and the benches and tables for resting hikers or cyclists.
