The Haselberg Tower stands atop the approximately 183-meter-high Haselberg hill in the Königsbrück Heath and is one of the most popular viewpoints in the nature reserve. The roughly 30-meter-high wooden tower was erected in 2005 and, after climbing about 160 steps, offers a panoramic view across the forests, heathlands, and open landscapes of the former military region. Today, the tower is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists and a lovely rest stop surrounded by nature. 🌿🥾

Two paths lead up to the Oybin castle and monastery ruins; we take the one through the Knights' Gorge. The path is narrow between the high cliffs, surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn foliage. After a short distance, we see the ruins before us. They sit majestically atop the rock. We take in the view one last time, breathe deeply, and are eager to see what awaits us. Now we pass through the gate, enter the grounds, pay our entrance fee at the servants' quarters, and begin our exploration. https://youtu.be/qvBJv_Fnfis

We return to the cemetery and take the circular hiking trail, which leads us further across the plateau. We walk along the high cliffs, the slope steep beside us, past the inn, sometimes very narrow between the rocks. Some people even get stuck here. The landscape is fascinating and exciting; we walk right along the edge of the slope and enjoy this autumn day. https://youtu.be/qvBJv_Fnfis
