On our car ride to Eisenach, we drove past here and spontaneously decided to take a closer look. It's a very well-preserved former border tower, privately owned. You can also visit it; there's a phone number on the tower. It's beautifully situated, especially the giant motorcycle and the giant bench; I had to sit on it 😏 It's much better to drive along the country road than the highway. Otherwise, you don't see such things at all 😉 You'll also find a bunker and a charcoal burner's hut with a rest area here.

In the center of Lindau, you'll find the Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul, an interesting photo opportunity. Further information can be found here: https://lindau-harz.de/kirchengemeinde/

Not much of the castle has been preserved, but the tower stump is well lit in the evenings and can be seen from far above the district.

Highly recommended...delicious cake, just right for the climb to the dam and further to Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

The former GDR border tower in Bartolfelde, between Bartolfelde and Bockelnhagen, is located on the "Green Belt" and is worth a visit because it has been preserved in its original condition. Once there, you can rest on oversized chairs and tables around the tower. Today's "Green Belt" was the inner-German border until 1989. Today, the area along this route is a nature reserve and offers ideal hiking trails in the midst of diverse nature. From the former GDR border tower in Bartolfelde, you can also hike a section of the "Green Belt" and be impressed by nature. https://www.badlauterberg.de/poi/ehemaliger-ddr-grenzturm

The old castle on the mountain spur between the Sösetal and Lerbachtal secured the ascent into the Harz Mountains. By 1100 AD, Osterode was already a "flourishing place". We can see this from the chronicle of the St. Peter's Monastery in Erfurt, which mentions the destruction of the "villa opulentissima" in the dispute between Henry the Lion and Margrave Albert the Bear in 1152. The castle was already standing at this time, and the remains of it remain one of the town's landmarks. It protected the first market settlement, which existed safely from the unpredictable Söse River, on the hill of today's Rollberg. Until 1486, the castle was the widow's residence of Duchess ELISABETH of Brunswick-Grubenhagen. In 1512, the castle was no longer inhabited; it was probably abandoned due to the threat of collapse as a result of the building ground giving way. With its 3.5-meter-thick walls, it had five floors. The preserved half-cylinder of the Romanesque residential tower, with a lower diameter of approx. 15 m and a remaining height of approx. 35 m, is one of the largest keep castles in Central Europe. Only a small part of the keep of the Old Castle has been preserved, and only the foundation walls of the other castle buildings. After extensive renovation, the tower ruins now tower over the beautiful town of Osterode am Harz. https://www.goettingerland.de/de/poi/historische-staette/alte-burg/50966953/

It is not that common to see an old GDR border fence in its original form anymore. Very nice and, above all, large sculptures.

Here is the official start and finish point of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg. I personally like the Hexentor in Thale much better as a finish and start point. The start point in Osterode is hardly noticeable and is in the middle of a parking lot: a start couldn't be more unpretentious...🤷‍♂️ I also recommend arriving and departing from the Hexenstieg by train: both Osterode and Thale are easily accessible by train.
