バルンシュテットのおすすめMTBライド

ネブラ近郊のミッテルベルクにある展望台は高さ30メートルで、176段の階段を無料で登ることができます。2007年に建てられ、有名な天盤の発見場所のすぐそばにあります。塔は10°傾いており、日時計の指針として機能します。

At the site where the Nebra Sky Disk was discovered, a 30-meter-high observation tower now stands on the Mittelberg mountain. The modern tower is tilted 10° and oriented north-south, like a sundial hand. It provides a view of astronomically significant points such as the Brocken and makes Bronze Age celestial observations more comprehensible. The tower symbolizes the interplay of heaven, earth, and humanity—then as it does today—and is freely accessible to visitors at all times.

A great photo opportunity. Great for history buffs. Right next door is the beautiful Untstrut Valley.

The Protestant city church of St. Lampert is dedicated to Saint Lambert of Liège. The three-aisled hall church, built between 1475 and 1523, was damaged in several city fires but was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1643, General Königsmarck had the upper part of the tower demolished because it likely threatened the castle's security.

In 979, a document first mentions a "Castellum." Querfurt has had a castle since then at the latest. The town itself was first mentioned in documents about a hundred years earlier. The castle was the ancestral seat of the noble lords of Querfurt, who for centuries were also burgraves of Magdeburg. With the death of Bruno XI of Querfurt in 1496, the noble family died out. The castle proved impregnable until 1640, but changed hands several times during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). The Swedish occupation lasted from 1642 to 1650. In 1663, the princes of Saxe-Querfurt made the castle their residence and Querfurt the capital of their domain.
