    After a long time of waiting, the area has now been provided with easily accessible paths. The bridge over the Alte Alster is still in the workaround stage, but something seems to be happening ;-)

    Edit 04/20/2024:
    The bridge has now been renovated and the area is easily accessible.
    A herd of goats is roaming through changing meadows to curb the wild growth. A shelter and seating have been built and the area appears to be being expanded...

      Unfortunately, you can't see much (anymore). A rather low hill, surrounded by tall trees.
      Stegen Castle was a moated castle on the Alte Alster, first mentioned in 1302 and expanded over the years around 1340. The fun was financed primarily with tolls between the Elbe and the Baltic Sea. The damming of the Alster for the castle moat meant that the water level was too low to operate the mills downstream and shipping on the Alster was no longer possible. This and earlier plundering of the castle lord led to the then Danish King Waldemar III intervening on his return journey from Palestine. After a siege, the castle lord was sent into exile in return for a large sum of money. Stegen Castle was demolished and never rebuilt.

        Something has happened here - the main bridge to the castle has been renewed and paths have been laid out, with further bridges (in the rear part) on the old Alster. Seating and information boards have been set up here that provide information about the former castle.

        In the middle of the newly designed area there is also a goat enclosure - the goats are supposed to take care of the grass.

        At the end of May 2024 there was a reopening here with a medieval camp, pottery, mock battles, archery and bard singing.
