Tolštejn Castle, Castle ruin in Rozhled Jiřetín pod Jedlovou, Czech Republic.
The castle ruins stand on two phonolite rocks at 670 meters elevation, forming a distinctive silhouette against the northern Bohemian landscape.
First documented in 1337, the castle protected the trade route between Bohemia and Lusatia until Swedish forces destroyed it during the Thirty Years' War in 1642.
The castle ruins now hold status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, preserving centuries of medieval architectural heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking trails and enjoy refreshments at the on-site restaurant established in 1865.
The castle structure incorporates natural phonolite rock formations, creating an unusual fusion of architectural and geological elements.
