Parkstein is a market town located in the Upper Palatinate district of Bavaria, Germany. The town is primarily known for its distinctive geological feature - a basalt cone hill that rises prominently above the surrounding landscape. This basalt formation, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, is often referred to as one of the most beautiful basalt occurrences in Central Europe.

The historic castle ruins atop the hill date back to medieval times and offer insights into the region's past. The town maintains its traditional Bavarian character while serving as an interesting destination for those interested in geology, regional history, and cultural heritage. The local museum, housed in the historic town hall, documents the geological significance of the area and the town's development through time.
