ヘンドゥンゲンの洞窟・トップ16

Beautiful to look at, unfortunately we weren't allowed in and there was no information about when it would be possible.

The Gaden (forts) surrounding the church in Oberstreu are a gem that transports the viewer to another world. Even though the current ensemble is smaller than it was in its heyday, it still gives an idea of how the fortifications once protected the Oberstreu residents from enemies and how life in the village was then. According to an information panel at the Gaden (forts), after the village was relocated in the 11th and 12th centuries, a tower, a small church, and a cemetery emerged from the flood-prone Streu lowlands. Initially, these were only enclosed by a wall. However, the walls were soon raised, and storehouses, known as Gaden (forts), were added from the inside. The term comes from Old High German and means something like "parlor" or "chamber." The defensive power of the complex was increased by the church tower and a defensive tower in the northern row of Gaden (forts). Unfortunately, the complex was destroyed in 1553 during the so-called Margrave War. However, the stone portals on the doors, dating from 1557 to 1591, show that the Gaden were rebuilt after the war. At the latest, they had cellars underneath. (info MainPost)

A beautiful place, even if you have a view. There was a ladder leaning against the tower, but it was too risky for me to use it.

fantastically idyllic with water, lots of green and all sorts of things around - very nice

A real fairytale castle, with a moat, stables, etc.; can be booked for celebrations and weddings

This is a really large and really well-maintained ruin. The climb is short and sweet from Henneberg. There is also a path around the complex. It is definitely worth a walk

For German Heritage Day, Bibra Castle opened its doors to visitors. There were guided tours of the grounds with interesting facts, followed by coffee and cake... what more could you want?! Perhaps an overnight stay in the castle? No problem, there's room for 17 people.

A romantic moated castle in Unsleben. A beautiful photo opportunity from all sides. The remains of an old tower and a moated castle can still be seen. The castle is on the list of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.
