Wolkenstein is a small town with a famous castle situated on a high rocky promontory above the river Zschopau in the Saxon part of the Ore Mountains. Outside the castle, there is only a church and a small square to see

Castle view

The most famous view of the castle is from below from the river Zschopau. From here you can walk to the city, or save up the climb and go to the free car park just outside the city

Wolkenstein Markt

The square is small, quite picturesque, but the only major attraction here is probably only the town hall building

Castle up close

The castle is nice even up close, although it looks much more photogenic from the river

View of the region

From the walls is a nice view of the region. 30–60 minutes will be enough for the whole tour of the town and the castle, so a pleasant stop when traveling in Saxony
