エーバーゲッツェンの洞窟・トップ12

Without an entrance fee, you can peacefully climb the wide tower stairs to the viewing platform. Inside the tower, you'll find various exhibits and information. There are several levels leading to the very top. A massive wall, large wooden stairs, and a very wide viewing platform offer excellent views in almost every direction. It's a rewarding experience after cycling up the steep hill.

Normally, the ruins are closed to the public. However, there is a way. At the castle hotel, you can get the key for the gate and visit the ruins. The observation tower was particularly important to me because I visit similar ones by bicycle in the TV series "The Tower Hunt." The tower looks massive. Spiral stone stairs lead up to a small room where you can also reach the viewing platform. First, though, you have to climb the vertical metal ladder. It's worth it because the view is beautiful. You can see the ruins and the surrounding area very well.

The Rieswarte is a fortification built in the 15th century. It also served as an observation and early warning tower.

A brilliant meadow trail leads from there down into the beautiful Bratental

Beautiful area below the castle ruins with castle park and distillery, definitely worth a trip.

The Rieswarte is one of the few remaining towers around Göttingen. Although it only exists as a ruin, you get a pretty good idea of its dimensions. Interestingly, there used to be a residential building and stables at this control point.

Restaurant closed, probably looking for a new tenant...

Katlenburg is worth a visit
