마르키셔 크라이스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

발버 발트(Balver Wald) 숲 가장자리에 자리한 보클룸 성(Schloss Wocklum)은 해자, 안뜰 건물, 바로크 양식의 파사드로 이루어진 고요한 앙상블처럼 보입니다. 전통이 깊은 이 농장은 오래된 플라타너스 가로수길과 가까운 루이제휘텐(Luisenhütten) 부지와 함께 주변의 고지대 트레킹 코스와는 대조되는 조용한 매력을 선사합니다. 역사적이고, 시골스러우며, 자우어란트(Sauerländer) 문화 경관에 아름답게 자리 잡은 이곳은 분위기 있는 중간 기착지로 훌륭한 선택입니다.

The castle's inner courtyard is very beautiful. It also features a permanent stage where, among other things, large-scale symphony concerts have been performed (e.g., Carmina Burana with the choir of the Märkisches Jugendsinfoniechester – magnificent!).

very hidden but worth seeing

The ruins of Rodenburg Castle in Menden (Sauerland) were built in the middle of the 13th century by the knight Goswin von Menden, a vassal of the Archbishop of Cologne. Built between 1246 and 1248, the castle served at a strategically important point. As early as 1276, Goswin had to cede the castle and the bailiwick of Menden to the Archbishop. After a brief change of control to the Margraviate of Brandenburg, the complex was destroyed in 1301 by the troops of the Count of Mark and not rebuilt. Over the centuries, the ruins were forgotten and overgrown by the forest. Only during test excavations in 1939 and later excavations in the 1950s under the direction of Robert Frese, a school principal from Menden, were parts of the remains rediscovered and uncovered. Today, the ruins, which are an important testimony to this short period of rule, can be reached via a 20-minute walk from the city center (Rodenberg/Kapellenberg). The visit is free of charge.

The oldest youth hostel in the world, set up by Richard Schirmann in 1909, is located at Altena Castle

Especially in autumn it's fun to discover everything in the area and take the autumn sun into your photos
