    Hiking

    Old ruined castle from basalt quarry stone on the 461m high Brackenberg. There is not much left of the former castle complex, there are no views, but this is still an idyllic spot in the Münden Nature Park.

    Mountain biking

    The remains of the walls of the Brackenburg can be found there. Difficult to "climb" by bike, since there are many trees around and only a narrow trail goes up!

    Hiking

    Only a few remains of the wall remain.

    The Brackenburg was probably built in the late 13th/early 14th century. 1411 and 1486 siege by troops from Göttingen. Deserted since 1583 at the latest (probably as early as the middle of the 16th century or earlier).

    The road Göttingen-Jühnde-Wiershausen-Hann runs along the slope of the Brackenberg. Münden (or Hedemünden), which certainly contributed significantly to the construction of the castle at this point. It may have been used to collect tolls or something similar.
