The Osterburg ruins are a fantastic hiking highlight.

Johanniter Castle in the village of Kühndorf

There is a beautiful Johanniter castle in Kühndorf.

Beautiful to look at, unfortunately we weren't allowed in and there was no information about when it would be possible.

This is a really large and really well-maintained ruin. The climb is short and sweet from Henneberg. There is also a path around the complex. It is definitely worth a walk

For German Heritage Day, Bibra Castle opened its doors to visitors. There were guided tours of the grounds with interesting facts, followed by coffee and cake... what more could you want?! Perhaps an overnight stay in the castle? No problem, there's room for 17 people.

The Osterburg was first mentioned in 1268 as the property of the County of Henneberg in order to secure the Werra Valley. However, the castle quickly lost its importance, changed owners several times and was finally abandoned completely around the year 1500. A club is actually very lovingly looking after the preservation of the ruins. There is an impressive keep (which is unfortunately not open to the public) and the remains of the impressive defensive wall and a well. This means that you can still get a good feel for the former castle on site. It is great that the club also mows special paths in the grass to enable exploration from all sides! Thank you for that!

The Osterburg was built in the 13th century. Walls, remains of towers and a moat up to 8 m deep that surrounds the core castle on all sides are still preserved. It's worth taking a walk around the castle ruins through the moat. On the back (northeast side) there is still an information board about the geotope in the steep wave limestone.
