Playful describes it quite well, I love that sort of thing.😎👌

The Harz hiking couple Alwin (3) and hiking women Claudi (1) met on the terrace of the Frankenstein. 🤭🤣 and enjoyed the fantastic view.

Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.

A lovely restaurant set on spacious grounds. The tower can be climbed, and from here you can also access the high street. 👍🏻

Breitungen Castle (also known as Herrenbreitungen Castle) is a former castle and palace complex in the historic district of Herrenbreitungen, part of the municipality of Breitungen/Werra, in present-day Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia. The Renaissance castle and the monastery basilica, with its 28-meter-high tower, are the landmarks of Breitungen. The castle was built around 1560 by Count Poppo XII of Henneberg. With the extinction of the Henneberg line in 1583, the castle came into the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel. The basilica was founded by Benedictine monks in 1112 and existed until 1553. It was built as a cruciform basilica with a three-aisled nave and a choir, the three naves of which ended in apses.

The mysterious castle lake, with no water supply, always the same water level. To my knowledge, the bottom of the lake has not yet been found. It is a volcanic cave system. Where does the water come from?

Not much remains of the Schnepfenburg, mentioned in 1166, which was intended to protect the graduation tower. It was used as an official residence and prison until 1786, then caught fire and was replaced by a castle. This now forms the district court. The Schnepfenburg was described as "insurmountable" and you can still explore the imposing walls above the castle lake today. The viewing platform is only closed at night.

Herrenbreitungen Castle was actually once a monastery that was founded in the 11th century. It was abandoned during the Peasants' War and the Count of Henneberg later built a castle on the ruins. After the Thirty Years' War, it was a Prussian administrative seat for 300 years and is now used entirely privately by companies. The castle grounds are not allowed to be crossed! However, you can look out onto the inner courtyard through the gate at the main entrance. This is where the Active Museum, which is also located in the castle, and the monastery's historic basilica are located. The museum is only open on weekdays and on a few Sundays.
