Ruine Hirschstein, Medieval castle ruins in Martinlamitzer Forst-Nord, Germany.
The stone remains of Hirschstein Castle spread across 100 meters in length and 50 meters in width at 744 meters elevation in Bavaria.
Records from 1223 document the castle's existence, with ceramic findings indicating settlement during the 13th and 14th centuries under the Hirschberg family.
The ruins represent medieval architecture through granite block construction techniques, featuring preserved walls reaching four meters in height.
The site requires sturdy footwear for exploration, as the terrain includes uneven surfaces and steep inclines leading to the main structure.
The Markgrafenstein, a boundary stone from 1742, stands 250 meters north of the ruins, marking historical territorial divisions of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
