イルムタルの絶景の山頂・トップ14

The Lange Berg is an 808 meter high mountain ridge in the northern Thuringian Forest. On top of the mountain stands the Prince Günther Monument. It was erected in honor of Karl Günther of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.

Greifenstein Castle had no strategic importance after it was built, but what's left is very nice to look at. That's fine too.

A really great and impressive monument in honor of our Sondershausen princes! 🤩

The Prince Karl Günther monument exists in honor of the prince. The monument near Gehren was erected between 1911 and 1912 on the initiative of the Thuringian Forest Association.

The castle can be hiked from Bad Blankenburg. Except for the entrance, the castle is surrounded by a rampart. It was first mentioned in 1208. Audio columns on the grounds provide information about the history. The later King Günther XXI of the House of Schwarzburg-Blankenburg was born here. The falconry is located in the outer bailey.

One of my favorite places that I visit regularly. From here you have a magnificent view even to the Brocken when the view is clear. There is always a wonderful silence here to relax. But you can also meet other pioneers here. The absolute highlight is the sunset in summer. Is in no way inferior to a sunset in the sea :-)
