The striking silhouette of the threshold castle is the highest point of the Gipskeuper hill range north of Erfurt and can be seen from afar. With its steppe lawn vegetation, it is impressive in every season and always visited by one or the other bird of prey.
The partly still recognizable terraces on the south side bear witness to the wine growing in the Middle Ages.

A very nice view from a low hill. A very beautiful view is rewarded by the Thuringian basin.
