Tips
The ruins of the Lauenburg stand high above Stecklenberg. From the tower, the viewing platform of which was created by scaffolding, one overlooks the Harz foreland. The main castle is a few meters away. The moat, which you walk through via a staircase, is immediately impressive. Probably the biggest highlight of the ruin is a linden tree that forms a protective tunnel with its roots. The ruin is freely accessible at any time. There is another ruin in the vicinity: the Mecklenburg one. The adjacent Wurmbach valley offers incredible peace and quiet.
