Anyone who takes the trouble to explore the Brunsburg area will still find some old remains such as walls and ditches!

At the beginning it goes well uphill, but then you can enjoy the path through the beech forest with the great views

The Brunsburg on the Brunsberg ...
Everything up here is incredibly old, but you shouldn't expect a medieval castle ruin. Rather, you have to let your imagination run wild. Old remains of the wall tell of an early medieval castle complex, which was already known during the time of Emperor Charles and his war against the Saxons. And that was in the 8th century, that was a while ago. But tools and weapons finds have shown that the Brunsberg was already used as a refuge 6,000 years ago. Back then, of course, everything was treeless up on the Brunsberg ... 🧐
