Small castle ruins above the roofs of Neidenfels with a beautiful view of the valley, Neidenfels and the paper factory. There are enough tables and benches for picnics and you can easily combine the ruins with a hike to the Lambertskreuz. Parking is available on site.

Nice scenic place

It is free so the cost benefit is infinite. Nice view to the city from the top, but the way to get there is not so nice, Google maps sent me by a very industrial area.

A very nice place with a great view. Visited on a geocaching tour. Some places to sit down are available and epyou can enjoy the nice area. There is also a Pokémon gym at the castle.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
