シュヴァイッカースハウゼンの絶景の山頂・トップ5

On the path leading up to Heldburg Fortress in Thuringia, you'll eventually come across a linden tree split in two. A sign is attached to the hollow of this tree, and I'd like to tell you about it now: "Castle Linden of Heldburg Fortress – Large-leaved Summer Linden. Wanderer, pause! Read my story here: In 1791, I was planted by the then Ducal Court Secretary, Johann Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826), from Heldburg. That's why I was also called the Bechmann Linden. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923), often lingered in the shade of its spreading branches when they resided here at the fortress during the summer months."

If you've made it this far, nothing can stop you.

The climb is a bit difficult, but the view from a great wooden bench makes up for it.

Here you are at one of the two viewpoints on the Zeilberg. Altenstein and the Hassberge can be seen, as can the striking Bramberg. There is a shelter here and you can see the entire mining area.

The Helene castle restaurant has now opened and welcomes its guests. From the terrace you have a great view of the Gleichbergen, the Straufhain and the Henneberger Warte near Bad Rodach. The pictures were taken from the terrace around the new building. It's open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., good to know.

Very steep climb from the north, but can also be avoided. Great view to the west, with information board located on the former patrol path

A new catering building was built on the terrace of the German Castle Museum in cooperation between the city of Heldburg as the client and the Thuringian Castles and Gardens Foundation. The guest room and terrace will offer space for events, celebrations and for relaxing in the historical ambience. You could already get a first impression on the day of the open monument.

That's true with the increase and the view then compensates for it.
