The castle park, which has only been open to the general public for around 100 years, is home to botanical features from all over the world. The Rotenburg castle park was created in the 16th century and has undergone many changes over the course of its history. Most interventions have been to its detriment. Located in the middle of the city, it has repeatedly been a preferred building site for municipal and state buildings. For many years, Ms. Brigitte Hallenberger has been working on identifying trees and shrubs that have survived these interventions as exotic species and were often in danger of being removed. Many specimens certainly date back to the Landgrave era, but nothing is known about when they were planted. Some are very rare and cannot even be found in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park today. More exotic plants are to be planted in the coming years, thus helping to raise awareness of the castle park in the old Landgrave town of Rotenburg a. d. Fulda among the people of Rotenburg and its guests. (Source: https://www.deutsche-maerchenstrasse.com/poi/rotenburger-schlosspark)

Looks quite nice, but is used more as a car park

In the heart of the Knüllwald forest, on a spur below Mount Babloh, lies the Wallenstein Castle ruins. They must have seemed fortified and impregnable in the Middle Ages, because outside the castle walls, the hills drop steeply on three sides. Today, the castle ruins provide the backdrop for rustic camping adventures: camping in the castle or in the courtyard, swimming in the charming natural swimming pool, and fishing in the castle pond are all possible here. Below the castle, there is a campsite that is also open to permanent campers. The restaurant offers fresh, regional cuisine and hosts fairytale evenings, where the illuminated castle becomes the focal point. https://www.deutsche-maerchenstrasse.com/poi/burgruine-wallenstein

A beautiful journey through time can be made in this area.

Start and finish of the premium walking trail - Fabelweg "Schlossbrunnenweg". Spacious parking lot. Information about the hiking trail: https://www.naturpark-knuell.de/touren/fabelweg-schlossbrunnenweg#/article/591aca9e-8364-42c0-ba0a-dd42c08c1f0c

Campsite & natural pool Burg Wallenstein. Bombs of space and a great natural swimming pool. A bathing beach to linger. Lovely here.

The almost square inner castle is surrounded by a strong shield wall, large parts of which are still preserved. Many other buildings were demolished to obtain materials. A round stair tower that remained was recently converted into a lookout tower by installing a spiral staircase. Only a few remains of the walls of the spacious outer castle have survived. The former moat has been filled in. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgruine_Wallenstein

A beautiful spot in the middle of Germany. I also found the gastronomy below the castle to be very good.
