Maps and trails
Geographically, Schauenstein lies on the edge of the Franconian Forest Nature Park and thus offers breathtaking landscapes for hiking and relaxing. The town itself has many historic buildings to offer as well as a picturesque market square with a variety of restaurants and cafés.

Sights relevant to tourism include Schauenstein Castle from the 12th century and the town church of St. Laurentius with its impressive architecture. Another highlight is the observation tower on the Kornberg, which offers a spectacular view over the region.

Cultural highlights include the "Schlosskonzerte" music festival in summer and the wine festival in autumn, where visitors can enjoy local specialities.

For gourmets, there are culinary specialities such as the famous Franconian Bratwurst or hearty dishes such as Sauerbraten or Schweinshaxe in the numerous local restaurants.

The best outdoor activities can be found here during the spring and summer months. A hike through the forests or along the rivers Saale and Selbitz will surely please you! In winter you can also go skiing!

If it rains, we recommend a guided tour of the local museum or visit one of the many lovely cafés to warm up and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Schauenstein, Landkreis Hof is known for its picturesque landscapes, historic architecture and culinary diversity. This charming town is definitely worth a visit!
