A relatively large amount of the castle gate and the tower has been preserved.

Not much of the former hilltop castle remains

Beautiful spot, especially at sunset as you can look directly into the valley from there. A dream!!! 😎👍

Ebersburg Castle lies on a porphyry cone on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains, north of the village of Herrmannsacker, at the western end of the Wetzel Valley, through which the Krebsbach stream flows. The ruins are dominated by its massive castle tower. With its still preserved height of 18 meters and its impressive wall thickness of 4.50 meters, it conveys an impression of strength, power, and durability. The castle was built in 1190 by Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. The castle was built between 1180 and 1191 at the behest of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. It was the northernmost fortification of the Thuringian Empire and is today probably the only castle ruin in Germany that has been preserved as a complete, purely Romanesque structure.

Double chamber gate, really rare

Still good to see how it used to be

Above the rock gate there is a very narrow path up...
