The Blankenberg castle ruins are always worth a visit on a hike, if only because of the beautiful view and the flair of the region.

Ground monument and model of the former Blankenberg Castle. The medieval Blankenberg Castle, rebuilt into a palace since the early modern period, was blown up on June 14, 1948 on the basis of Order No. 209 of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany. Structural remains of the castle were uncovered after 1990. In 2007, on the occasion of the 775th anniversary, a 1:10 scale model of the castle was set up on a roundabout at the foot of the ruin. Magnificent view from the bastion of the Saale valley.
