Tips

Harzer-Bergwald de

July 10, 2016

Falkenstein Castle stands out as a jewel above the Selketal in the eastern Harz Mountains. You can see it from afar when you arrive. From the other side of the valley, that of the Ackeburg, you also have a very good view. The castle is completely preserved and serves as a museum. Many interesting exhibits provide historical insights. The tower, from which one can overlook the Selketal, allows a view. Knight and castle festivals take place seasonally. A falconer practices his craft here and you can even hold a wedding. The stamp office 200 of the Harzer hiking nobility is in front of the gate.

Very beautiful castle in the Harz. Nice festivities for Walpurgisnacht and you can get married there 👰.

In October, the knights' games are held here regularly. It should not be missed, a unique experience.
