Großer Waldstein, Mountain peak in Fichtelgebirge, Germany
The Großer Waldstein stands at 877 meters above sea level, featuring distinct granite rock formations and mixed forests with old beech trees.
The mountain holds ruins of two medieval castles, including the Red Castle built in the 14th century by the lords of Sparneck.
The Devil's Table rock formation near the castle gate carries folklore about the devil playing cards with goblins on its surface.
The Waldsteinhaus, managed by the Fichtelgebirge Club, provides accommodation and serves as a starting point for summit exploration trails.
The mountain houses Germany's last remaining historical bear trap, first documented in 1656, located 200 meters west of the Waldsteinhaus.
