    In a document that Heinrich III., Son and successor of Conrad II., Issued on August 28, 1044 in Bamberg, not only were purchases and donations confirmed to him anew, but he was also given permission to build a castle. In the center of his possessions, on the Wolfsstieg near Friedrichroda, from where he could "survey" his property, he built the Schauenburg (Wikipedia).

      mystical place; de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schauenburg_(Friedrichroda);
      be careful when climbing the rock in winter

      Translated by Google •

        We were up there in the winter with a lot of snow. Some caution is required, but doable. The view is terrific. We were lucky and had a clear view.
        A detour that is definitely worth it
