The Osterburg ruins are a fantastic hiking highlight.

First documented mention in 890.

Small town, located on the Werra Valley cycle path. Offers many beautiful photo spots. A look into the dreamy alleyways is worthwhile.

The Stone Church stands on the basalt summit of the Stone Mountain. It is believed to be a pre-Christian place of worship, which was built with a chapel during the Christianization. This was dedicated to Saint Ottilie and pilgrims came here to wash themselves with the water from the nearby spring. Only a wall remains of the church, but this is very impressive simply because there was a modern quarry underneath it. The mighty basalt wall on which the chapel stands was left standing, which gives the church an impressive size. A warning to anyone interested: the ascent and descent up the mountain are quite steep and narrow. The path from Henfstädt is very overgrown. After my own exploration, I would advise against a visit at the moment.

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!

Opening hours From May 1st to October: On Sundays and public holidays and on all Saturdays with events 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. For special events also all day long. Source: http://schloss.bedheim.de/leben/gartencafe

After renovating the garden house, we have had a lovely café in the castle garden since 2008 and the countryside around Bedheim has become another destination. The garden café is open on Sundays and public holidays in the warmer months of the year. If it is cold and rainy, you can warm yourself up by the fireplace. Enjoy In our garden café we offer delicious homemade cakes and fine tarts, which are topped with fruit from the castle gardens whenever possible. In addition, the ingredients for all our food and drinks are only organically produced and/or are of regional origin. Our own apple juice from the Philippsgarten behind the castle garden is particularly delicious. After visiting the café, take a walk through our orchards and enjoy the wonderful view from the edge of the forest! A house for the garden Source: http://schloss.bedheim.de/leben/gartencafe

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.
