지겔로다에르 숲 주변 최고의 반려견 동반 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

One of the largest ginkgo trees in Germany.

Not only is the view top-notch, but also the seating made of oak. What a view😁🫶🌳

Here you can take a look at the area from the spoil heap. Signs tell you about the history of the place.

I don't know if there are still Kranzreiter in Sittichenbach, but it is a beautiful path into the forest.

A beautifully landscaped spot on Kranzreiterweg invites you to linger. Here you will not only find a rustic bench with a table for the owner's snack, but also water bowls for the four-legged companions.

Since 1949, the Bornstedt local festival has taken place every year in the ruins.

Bornstedt Castle, also known as Schweinsburg, stands high on the Hornburger Sattel – a ridge on the eastern edge of the Harz Mountains. The impressive, thirty-meter-high keep of the castle ruins can be seen from far away. The former Carolingian rampart was probably built in the 8th century. The "Brunstediburg" was first mentioned in documents around 880 in the Hersfeld tithe register. It consisted of a stone core castle with a keep and an outer castle, once surrounded by a ring wall and a moat. In 1115, Emperor Henry V used Bornstedt Castle as a station for his troops in the battles at Welfesholz during the Saxon Wars. From 1301 to 1780, the complex was owned by the Counts of Mansfeld, and from 1502 it was one of their residences. During the Thirty Years' War, Bornstedt Castle lost importance and began to decay.

Even though this ginkgo is not yet on the list of national heritage trees, it has reached a considerable age and size. Certainly even more impressive in autumn with yellow leaves.
