ブラウンラーゲの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The Scharzfeld castle ruins are worth a visit. Many information boards provide information about the history of the facility. A restaurant invites you to linger. Many animals such as birds and squirrels can be observed on the circular path around the ruins.

Once a popular inn, today it's a bit built up and you don't get anything here for free.

The inn now has new operators before you the mammoth task is to bring everything back into shape.

Many informative panels on building materials, geology and history give a picture of the castle at that time...

Great view with a good view 👍

Great climb from Barbis (old trees). Also very nice destination for families.

The castle is a really extraordinary historical place. The history since the Salian era in the 11th century is clearly explained on boards. The castle was considered impregnable and it stayed that way until 1761, when the French conquered it with massive means during the 7 Years War and then blew it up. So there wasn't much left of the lower castle. In the upper castle, which is cordoned off because it is probably too exposed and dangerous, more remains can be seen. You can go up the stairs to the tunnel that led into the upper castle to get an overview. The location of the gastronomy is nice, which, like everything in Corona times, is unfortunately closed. From there you have a good view of the southern Harz foreland towards Barbis
