루노프-스톨젠하겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 동굴

It was probably built in the 12th century and served as a town castle. Today, only the outer walls remain, made of brick, while the foundations are made of boulders and fieldstone. The castle already existed at this time and served as a border fortress. The present-day old town developed under its protection.

Between 1816 and 1826, at the initiative of landowner Otto von Arnim, the old village in Criewen was demolished and rebuilt further east. This made room for the creation of a landscape park, designed by landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. At the center of the park are the reconstructed castle and the village church. The 9-hectare park is well preserved and, with its rare trees such as bald cypress, large-leaved linden, and plane tree, is an inviting place for strolls.

The so-called Grützpott (Grützpott) is visible from afar. There are two paths to the top: the shorter one involves small, irregular steps, and the longer one is accessible by bike or car. The terrain itself is quite uneven, but the view is wonderful to enjoy. Various benches invite you to linger. The tower castle itself can be visited on certain days. It houses an exhibition.

The many sculptures in the city are a delight and make the tour very special. I thought it was really nice that you can also learn a lot about the history of the city.
