Tips from the Community
Really good junction for hiking, in winter also connection to the cross-country ski trail (Attention: Very high difficulty level!) However, the signage is not so good. So it's better to check the map one more time 😁

The single-nave church in Rossbach, perched on a rock, rests on a chapel of Saint Martin. In the 14th century, there was a wooden chapel here, which was burned down by the Hussites in 1430, but reconsecrated in 1432. The chapel was a branch of St. Ägidien in Regnitzlosau; the common mother parish was St. Lorenzkirche in Hof. Rossbach did not become an independent parish church until 1502. In 1719, the old church gave way to a baroque church.

The church, with its Baroque hall, was built in 1682 and rebuilt in 1719. The organ, built in 1860 by Carl Eduard Schubert, is an absolute rarity in historical organ building. Its original condition has been preserved even after several repairs.
