    The Reichsburg Kyffhausen is a medieval castle ruin in the Kyffhäuser Mountains, located on the 439.7 m above sea level[1] high Kyffhäuserburgberg in the Steinthaleben district of the Kyffhäuserland municipality, not far from the town of Bad Frankenhausen in the Kyffhäuserkreis district, Thuringia, near the border with the Thuringian-influenced part of Saxony-Anhalt. The Reichsburg consists of three separate medieval fortifications separated from each other by moats. These castles are called the Upper, Middle, and Lower Castles. With a length of over 600 meters and a width of around 60 meters, they together form one of the largest castle complexes in Germany. Together with the castle museum and the Kyffhäuser Monument located on the castle grounds, the castle is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Germany, particularly well known for the Barbarossa or Kyffhäuser legends.
