Osterstein Castle on the Hainberg above the Gera district of Untermhaus was the residential palace of the Principality of Reuss' younger line. During the Second World War, the castle was destroyed in an air raid on April 6, 1945. The ruins were blown up in 1962.

Hiking

Basically, all the paths that lead up here are nice to walk. You have a wonderful view of the city.

It is one of the remains of Osterstein Castle.

Crossing the bridge leads to the keep and a viewpoint overlooking Gera.
