    Hiking

    The Alte Söll, also known as Friedrichstein, is a 734-meter-high rock in the center of Schöneck. From its highest point, there is a wide view over the Vogtland to the mountains of the Franconian Forest and Fichtel Mountains. You reach the top of the rock via a metal staircase. Schöneck Castle used to be located here, but no remains of it remain. The rock consists mostly of so-called quartzite, which was once used as a particularly durable building material.

    Hiking

    Schöneck Castle was located on the Alte Söll. Remnants can still be seen, there are also information boards about the former castle complex.

    If the visibility is good, you can see very far as far as East Thuringia.
