Hanstein Castle is considered to be the largest castle ruin in Central Germany - but even without this distinction, the huge complex is a must visit for all castle lovers due to its location above Bornhagen. But even if you can not warm yourself too much for medieval walls, it's worth making a detour to the castle wall or the towers: from here you have a fantastic view over the hills of the Eichsfeld up to the mountains of the Thuringian Forest and the Hoher Meissner ,
