The Brandenburg Castle ruins tower impressively above the Werra Valley. We saw them several times from the Werra Castle Trail and eventually visited them. The view from up here is magnificent!

The picturesque ruins of the Brandenburg rise on one of the foothills of the Thuringian Forest high above the Werra valley meander near Lauchröden

Romantic ruin in the Werra valley, the builders of Brandenburg were the Counts of Wartberg

Super beautiful old buildings with lots of history.

The castle on the Tannenberg was built by the von Baumbach family in the 14th century in a strategically important location - first between Franconia and Saxony, then between Hesse and Thuringia - with the support of the Landgrave of Hesse in place of an older castle complex. The castle benefited from its location on the various trade routes, especially the Via Regia. A large part of the old core castle and the old farm yard are still preserved today. After excavations, the western kennel wall and the gate tower were reconstructed in 2006/7. The castle is now owned by the “Freunde des Tannenbergs e.V.” association. The former medieval group "Allerley" looks after the Tannenburg gastronomically, through demonstrations of old crafts and through a variety of events in the style of a living medieval museum.

Again and again you can catch a glimpse of the Wartburg from the numerous hiking trails. It doesn't matter whether it's sunny or slightly foggy, it's always impressive to see the castle

The inner courtyard is well worth seeing with the Palas, the cistern, its half-timbered buildings and the medieval castle garden. Everything is renovated and beautifully prepared.

Great rest area with refuge, information boards and atonement cross. The rest area also offers a beautiful view towards Wartburg.
