Hiking

The miserable castle - a beautiful vantage point, and if you look closely you can still discover a few remains, but not much has been preserved. Nevertheless, the journey here is worthwhile.

Hiking

A detour to this "ruin" is not worth it. It just looks like a big rock in the forest. The walkable way up is hardly to be found. Other paths that lead up are no longer accessible. Of course you always need a lot of imagination with ruins, how it might have looked. Here, however, you need a blooming imagination to be able to imagine anything at all. There are no information boards or pictures of the Elendsburg.

Hiking

The Elendsburg is a bit hidden and slightly elevated, about 700m upstream of misery on the left bank of the cold Bode on a freestanding shale rock.
