    Of the original building structure, only the former keep, the Wolf's Bridge leading to the castle, as well as remains of farm buildings and the castle courtyard remain.

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

        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.
