      Scharzfels Castle is the ruin of a medieval fortification in the Harz Mountains near Barbis and Scharzfeld in the Lower Saxony district of Göttingen. Ever since it was built in the 10th century, it has been considered an impregnable fortress. See: burgruine-scharzfels.de

        He's a bit demanding.

          Beautiful but challenging climb to the Scharzfels ruins
          from the direction of Unicorn Cave.

            It's quite a steep climb here, which isn't easy, especially when the leaves are falling. Beautiful mixed beech forest.

              The climb to the castle ruins is a bit strenuous, in autumn you should make sure you have sturdy shoes.

                The climb is slightly steep but still manageable and child-friendly

                        Much nicer than the main route on the forest road.
                        A true forest path with a steep climb.
