The steadily ascending and winding L1062 leads past the castle and directly through the village to the east to Eineborn with connection to the federal motorway 9 near Hermsdorf . The hilly area of the village covers 405 hectares. Shell limestone and colored stone weathered soils predominate. With the exception of the valleys, these areas are remote from the groundwater. The hills and steeper slopes are forested and provided with rainen.

history

Seitenroda was first mentioned in a document in 1280. The settlement of the village probably went hand in hand with the construction of the Leuchtenburg; the documented first mentions of the village and castle are close to each other. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1221.
