Wunsiedel

The countryside surrounding Wunsiedel consists of forested granite hills in the Fichtel Mountains, a setting that has influenced both its built form and its long-standing quarrying economy. The Röslau runs through this northeastern Bavarian town before joining the Eger farther north. Granite is central to Wunsiedel’s identity: the Luisenburg Rock Labyrinth, a natural field of weathered boulders, lies on the outskirts and provides the setting for the Luisenburg Festival, an open-air theatre season. Wunsiedel is also the birthplace of the writer Jean Paul, commemorated by a museum in town.
