Luisenburg Rock Labyrinth
Luisenburg-Felsenlabyrinth
A natural labyrinth formed by giant granite boulders. You climb through caves and up ladders, and nearby is Germany's oldest open-air theater.
Luisenburg lies south of Wunsiedel. It is a “sea of rocks” formed by collapsed, weathered granite boulders. A trail of about 1 km winds through gaps between the boulders, caves and steps up to lookout points. The name comes from a visit by Queen Louise of Prussia in 1805, and Goethe also came here to study geology. The Luisenburg Open-Air Theater next to it is one of Germany's oldest natural stages, and it hosts a theater festival in summer. Admission costs about 5 euros, and non-slip shoes are required. It is about 40 km from Bayreuth.
