Hiking

The first constructions of the castle were probably built in the 11th century by the Counts of Katlenburg. Over the centuries it has been constantly expanded and rebuilt. The function of the Stauffenburg was to protect the Harz mining in nearby Gittelde as well as to secure the Thuringian military road, which ran below the Seesen castle from southeast along the Harz to Nordhausen.
In 1778 the facility began to fall into disrepair. The stones were used, among other things, to build the domain below the castle.

The Stauffenburg was a hilltop castle, it is located on a wooded hilltop, the structural beginnings of which are believed to have been in the 11th century. Today the fortifications, which have never been besieged, are a ruined castle with remnants of walls that have been restored. Here is a hiking hut to rest and you have a gigantic view of the Harz Mountains.

Hiking

There are still some remains of the walls of the Stauffenburg here. There is an explanation of the castle, a rest pavilion, benches for breaks, with one bench on the castle wall offering a magnificent view.
