Playful describes it quite well, I love that sort of thing.😎👌

The Harz hiking couple Alwin (3) and hiking women Claudi (1) met on the terrace of the Frankenstein. 🤭🤣 and enjoyed the fantastic view.

Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.

The mysterious castle lake, with no water supply, always the same water level. To my knowledge, the bottom of the lake has not yet been found. It is a volcanic cave system. Where does the water come from?

Feldeck Castle was built on behalf of the Hersfeld monastery and was initially managed by the Lords of Frankenstein, like the other castles in the region. In 1622, the castle passed to the Butlar family, who have lived there ever since - interrupted only by a forced expropriation during the GDR era.

Not much remains of the Schnepfenburg, mentioned in 1166, which was intended to protect the graduation tower. It was used as an official residence and prison until 1786, then caught fire and was replaced by a castle. This now forms the district court. The Schnepfenburg was described as "insurmountable" and you can still explore the imposing walls above the castle lake today. The viewing platform is only closed at night.

Next to the ruins of the old Krayenburg is the new Krayenburg. Unfortunately, it is only open on a few weekends.

The ruins of the Krayenburg on the Krayenberg are a place with ancient history. The ruins are not directly accessible, but can be viewed.
