In the valley of the river Zschopau on the German side of the Ore Mountains you will find a number of nice castles. One of them is Scharfenstein, which is typical for its cylindrical tower towering over the snow-white palace. In addition, the long-distance hiking trail Zschopau Wanderweg leads below the castle

An interesting view of the castle, surrounded by the Ore Mountains, is from the road connecting Venusberg with Griesbach

At Scharfenstein Castle

It is practically impossible to park right next to the castle, so leave your car down the hill and take a small hike. Perhaps the most beautiful view of it is from a small garden at the castle gate.

From the castle there is also a nice view of the valley of the river Zschopau. The place is a favorite for wedding guests, so you may even meet some here

Scharfenstein Castle

It is possible to ascend to the castle tower for a fee. Otherwise, you will only find a courtyard here.

Under Scharfenstein Castle

Around the castle is partly a forest, which leads to a hiking trail. It sometimes has a view of the castle from a slightly different angle.
