Robber's castle or "Alteburg" 🏰 Legendary ruin from the High Middle Ages ⚔️ The so-called "robber's castle", which is the subject of several legends from the Thuringian Forest, is also often referred to as "Alteburg". The ruin is a rectangular fortification from the High Middle Ages that served to protect the former trade route from Erfurt across the Thuringian Forest to southern Germany. The rampart in the east, remnants of the ring wall (reconstructed), the cistern and the moat are still preserved today. The castle was probably built in 1150 by the Counts of Käfernburg. The name "robber's castle" seems to be based on the fact that the complex passed into the possession of robber barons several times during various battles in the 13th century. The ruins are a popular tourist destination. It is located on the western spur of the Arlesberg in Gräfenroda between Dörrberg and Geschwenda on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest, above the Erfurt-Oberhof-Suhl railway line, which runs through the valley of the Wild Gera.

The castle is said to have been founded by the Counts of Käfernburg. It was destroyed in 1289 because of robber barons. The Counts of Schwarzburg built a new castle on the same site in 1324, which they sold to Count Henry VIII of Henneberg-Schleusingen in 1343. The owners then changed frequently. In 1613 the castle fell into disrepair. The remains of the castle burned down and were demolished in 1703. Traces of the castle can still be seen in the office building.

The castle was probably built by the Käfernburgers in the 12th century. The first lords of the castle were the ministerial lords of Liebenstein before the castle fell to the Ludowingers in 1369. In 1434 the Lords of Witzleben became the owners of the castle, which they expanded into a residential palace in the middle of the 16th century. Later the complex slowly fell into disrepair and served as a quarry for the villagers (Wikipedia).

Elgersburg is best known for its castle of the same name, which dates back to 1088. It was built on the walls of a castle of the Counts of Kevernburg and the Lords of Witzleben, which served to protect Salzmannstrasse. It was built as a protective and stronghold on a porphyry rock above the place by Gerhard Edler von Grumbach, also called Edler Gerhard or Elger, which is what the place's name refers to.

From 1560 the castle fell into disrepair as it was not an obligation. After the town fires in 1603, 1624 and 1752, the remains of the castle were used as a quarry to cover the need for material.

After a long, tiring forest path from Soldierborn, finally a possibility for a first rest with a view of the Lütschetalsperre and the "old mountain guard hut" on the back. To the left of this the path leads through high forest to the meadow and camping site. When you reach this, turn right and follow the valley path towards Oberer Sieglitzteich.
