Have passed there many times. However, there is no official hiking trail on the ridge that leads past it. Despite all this, a beautiful spot on earth, a small swamp area has just been renatured there. stop by

Beautiful descent to Jühnde, but be careful when it's wet! The potential for falls, especially at the Tour d'Energie, is there.

Only a few remains of the wall remain. The Brackenburg was probably built in the late 13th/early 14th century. 1411 and 1486 siege by troops from Göttingen. Deserted since 1583 at the latest (probably as early as the middle of the 16th century or earlier). The road Göttingen-Jühnde-Wiershausen-Hann runs along the slope of the Brackenberg. Münden (or Hedemünden), which certainly contributed significantly to the construction of the castle at this point. It may have been used to collect tolls or something similar.

The ascent is directly opposite the Staufenberghütte!

If you hike on the Stahlberg ridge, the Staufenberg is a little to the north, hidden in the forest. Like the Stahlberg, the Staufenberg is a basalt cone and even slightly higher than the better-known vantage point. You only have a view from up here as long as there are no leaves on the trees. And even then you can only vaguely see the Dörnberg and the Habichtswald through the trees. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful spot in northern Hesse. There is no official route to the top, but there are three footpaths from the south, west and north.
