Hamrstein

Beautiful nature

Too bad this monument is not more opecovavana however never disappoints children or adults

The ruin is very nice, forests around the richly decorated blooms. The nearby railway viaduct and the unique transborder are worth seeing.

Calm on the ruins, only compared to last autumn suffered damage - damaged info signs and bench

Extensive ruins can be found on a rocky promontory above Lužická Nisa near Liberec, in the part called Machnín. The castle, founded in the first third of the 14th century, served as a fortified seat and administrative center for the surrounding Bieberštejn estates. Once an important castle that was supposed to oversee the mining and processing of iron ore and protect the mines for precious metals, today it resembles only a massive perimeter wall, the impressive remains of two towers and the walls of a residential building. It is first mentioned in 1357 in a document in which Bedřich of Bibrštejn promises allegiance to King Charles IV. In 1433 the castle was conquered and occupied by the Hussites, after subsequent property disputes it was inhabited in the first half of the 16th century. The purchase contract from 1558 lists it as desolate. In 1882, the southern part of the wall collapsed into a valley. Under the ruins is a nature reserve.

A beautiful place to relax, view and take pictures from interesting angles. Hamerstein's walk is comfortable, even if it goes down a steep hill. It is great that just below the debris there is a train stop from which the ruin is about 300 meters. I recommend for all who want to relax and relax
