What a charming and lovely place to stop for refreshments up here on the Teufelskanzel! 👍 I really like the place and the food was delicious too.

There are plenty of places to sit at Altenstein Castle. 👍

Not only ancient history has left its mark on Altenstein Castle, but also the division of Germany. The ensemble is quite interesting.

If it's open, be sure to stop, go in, and take a look. It's truly worth it, if only from an art history perspective. 🖐

Unfortunately, the museum is only open on Sunday afternoons, but you can at least peek through the windows into the former cane-making workshop. There's also an information board outside the door.

Due to its location, the inn has a rather small menu, which is posted on the building. There are a few small dishes such as minced meat or cheese platters, soups, but often also two or three regular hot dishes that change frequently. The cuisine remains consistently regional. Prices are somewhat higher, but not excessively expensive considering the location and the effort involved in transporting the food by regular car. You can sit comfortably in the beer garden under trees and umbrellas with a view of the Teufelskanzel (Devil's Pulpit) or in the rustic inn. The restrooms are in a separate building, and the door is usually open, contrary to the signs on site. Unlike the official opening hours, the inn was open from 11:00 AM (instead of 12:00 PM) when we visited.

The church is open on weekends from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is definitely worth a visit. During this time, it is lovingly cared for by an association founded specifically for the church. A visit to the church can therefore sometimes result in a 45-minute private tour of the church's entire history. Yes, the people of Wahlhausen are apparently very proud of their church – just as the people of Hanstein were, who founded this church directly next to one of their manor houses. With the founding of the GDR, the people of Hanstein were forced to give up their possessions and were disenfranchised. The famous racing driver Fritz Huschke von Hanstein managed to emigrate to the West. His parents owned the Unterhof farm in Wahlhausen. From then on, they could only observe the manor church founded by their ancestors from a distance. The fact that the church shines in such good condition today is due to the fact that Fritz Huschke von Hanstein is not only buried in Wahlhausen, but also, upon his death, asked that donations for the manor church be made instead of wreaths at the grave. The rich interior furnishings, and especially the paintings along the gallery, are a feast for the eyes today. In the separate gallery for the Hanstein residents, there is also a display case containing the trophies and medals won by Fritz Huschke von Hanstein.
