ハイルバートハイリゲンシュタットの洞窟・トップ20

A castle that already has modern facilities

There are plenty of places to sit at Altenstein Castle. 👍

Not only ancient history has left its mark on Altenstein Castle, but also the division of Germany. The ensemble is quite interesting.

If you leave BSA on the cycle path heading south, you will have a wonderful view of the opening Werra Valley with the Werra and Rothestein Castle perched on the hill.

always a beautiful view

Until 1945, the area around Altenstein Castle belonged to the Hessian state forest of Allendorf and then came to the Thuringian district of Eichsfeld as a result of the Wanfried Agreement through an exchange of territories. Until 1954 the castle was still used as a dwelling for the forester, after that for a few years as a children's holiday camp. In 1973 the castle complex was blown up as part of border security measures on the Inner German border. The area close to the border was no longer accessible to the population until the end of 1989.

a very nice way, easy to drive and also highly recommended for hiking

An interesting ruin with a small vaulted cellar and a beautiful view. A flashlight is useful because of the cellar.
