Schöne kleine Burganlage die wahlweise steil von Marienthal zu erreichen ist, oder gemütlich flach von Fischbach aus. Wir wählten dieses Mal den Parkplatz Mehbani direkt an der Straße, da es eine Mischung aus flach und Berg war 😉und wir danach noch eine kleine Runde wandern wollten. Zum ersten Mal ging es diesmal in die Burg ( Öffnungszeit momentan, jeden ersten Sonntag bis September) Es war sehr schön und eine kleine Führung incl. Es kostet nichts, aber man darf freiwillig etwas zum Erhalt der Burg spenden. 🏰

Schöner Wanderweg, Vorbei an einen kleinen Weiher, in dem man sehr gut die Fische sehen kann von oben. Der Weg führt durch einen Wald. Hierbei kann man die Natur und die Stille des Waldes genießen. Nach ca 1 km kommt dann die Burgruine Stockerfels. Mitten im Wald und gut versteckt von Bäumen. Ein kleiner Weg führt über die Burg, so daß man alle Seiten der Burg besichtigen kann. Leider ist eine Besichtigung von innen nur an bestimmten Tagen möglich. Nähere Info wann die Burg von innen zu besichtigen ist erfährt man von der Stadt Nittenau bzw auf der Homepage. Man kann auch die Burg von der Seite Marienthal anschauen. Dabei wird der Fluss Regen mit einer Zille überquert und anschließend mit einem Fußweg von ca 1,5km führt ein Weg zur Burg. Wir sind auf dem Parkplatz Nähe Fischbach losgezogen der kurz bei der Abzweigung nach Katzdorf/Glashütte/ Loisnitz führt Fahrtrichtung Fischbach. Wenn man im Wald ist zweigt sich der Weg, der linke Weg, ca 1 km, war in unseren Augen der schönste Weg, beide Wege führen zur Burg Stockerfels. Wir waren insgesamt 1,5 Stunden unterwegs

Burg Stockenfels was very beautiful. There are some things to keep in mind before visiting these amazing castle ruins. There is limited parking at the trailhead. The trail is roughly 1 km from the trailhead, and is easy to moderate depending on which path you decide to take. I made the mistake of following the Google Maps route, which took me up the moderate path for the final 200 meters. It only became a very difficult path for me because I had a double stroller with 2 children. Do not make this same mistake. Also, keep in mind that Burg Stockenfels is only open 1 Sunday per month during a limited season, so check the schedule prior to arriving. It's free to enter, but donations are appreciated. You are allowed to wander the ruins portion and enter the very well preserved portion at the ground floor and cellar levels, but are not permitted to go upstairs. It is well worth the visit. Highly recommend!

What an awesome find in the middle of nowhere. Normally when you find burg ruins in the middle of nowhere, long abandoned, they are in disrepair with hardly any semblance of themselves. Not so here. It takes little imagination to see defenders manning the ramparts against attackers scaling the steep hillside on all sides.

The burg is only about a 15 minute walk from the main road. Finding it can be a bit tricky. Make sure you follow the green squares spray painted on the trees. It is a nice small castle. You can only enter the castle the first Sunday of the month from 13:00-17:00.
