    Welcome to Greifenstein Castle
    High above the town of Bad Blankenburg, the gateway to the Schwarzatal, on the local mountain covered with old beech trees, lies the town's landmark, Greifenstein Castle. At around 250 m long and around 80 m wide, the castle complex was one of the largest German feudal castles.

    A definitely worthwhile destination. Very well maintained and well signposted.

      Idyllically situated castle with an excellent view. Always worth a trip, for example to the bird of prey show or the annual medieval market. The local castle tavern invites you to linger, with delicious food and drinks for all ages.
