From Rübeland, the ruins of Birkenfeld Castle can be hiked up via a short but steep climb. The former castle area offers you a beautiful view of large parts of the Upper Harz. In good weather you can also see the prominent peak of the Brocken from here.

Hiking

Not far from the Hohe Kleef observation pavilion. However, there are only a few stones left and an information board
