ホルンゼンメルンの天然記念物・トップ8

A real gem in the Kyffhäuser district. 👍

A beautiful historical place which is not maintained and appreciated. Unfortunately there is no information board. Garbage is lying around on the burial mound, although there is a wastebasket there. The name Ostara (spring goddess, goddess of fertility) first appears in 673-735. In the EDDA - german. Ostara does not appear in legends and songs. Freya is the only love and fertility goddess among the Germans / Vikings

Where healing is needed Should you use something like that

Well worth a visit, a beautiful baroque park.

In 2005, the then tree of the year, a horse chestnut, was planted next to a bench. However, a nice weather resting place as there is no roofing.

This park, which still exists today in its basic form, was designed along axes based on the French model. The park's heyday was in the last quarter of the 18th century and lasted until the first half of the 19th century. The castle was used as a residence by the princely family of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen or a branch line until 1835. After that it only served administrative functions or was divided into rental apartments. In April 1945 the castle and its ancillary facilities were shot at and burned down. The palace park is on Via Romea. For the BUGA2021 in Erfurt, the baroque palace garden was chosen as the external location. In the lower part of the park there are numerous fountain figures that depict scenes from a deer hunt and were designed by Christian Johann Biedermann (before 1664-after 1740) around 1725. Two riders gallop in the two small round fountains by the orangery building.

The Österberg is located at 190m above sea level and according to HP should be in the period from 2800 to 2200 BC. Be an unexplored burial mound from the time of the cord pottery, or a pagan cult site in honor of the Germanic spring goddess Ostara. Overall, you have a beautiful view of the Thuringian region here.

The nature reserve "Herbslebener Teiche" lies about 3 kilometers outside the municipality Herbsleben in an easterly direction and today covers an area of 99.3 hectares. Since 1993 this area has been declared a "European bird sanctuary" because native birds, insects and amphibians, some of which are threatened with extinction, have resettled there. The water areas are managed by the sport fishing association and used for fishing.
