The Sababurg, formerly Zappenburg, then Zapfenburg and today popularly named after the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Sleeping Beauty Castle, is the ruin of a mountain castle in the legendary Reinhardswald, which extends in the northern Hessian district of Kassel. Sababurg is also a district of the district Beberbeck of Hofgeismar.

The hill castle was built in 1334 as Zappenburg to protect the pilgrims of the nearby pilgrimage site Gottsbüren. From the medieval castle dating from 1490, the hunting lodge Zapfenburg emerged. After 1957 the complex was restored and since 1959 it has been a hotel. Together with Trendelburg and Krukenburg, today's ruins belong to the three best-known castles in the Reinhardswald region, although the latter stands just outside this forest. In the surroundings there are the zoo Sababurg and the forest Sababurg. At the castle, the idea for the board game Sagaland Wikipedia was born

In the cafe you can also order a "Spezi", but that costs true and written 7 (!) Euro. So watch out !!! (As of 09/2016). Otherwise very rustic and comfortable. The outer fence around the animal enclosure is huge, but can be explored on foot or by bike (better MTB) well.
