노이슈타트/하르츠 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A relatively large amount of the castle gate and the tower has been preserved.

From here you have a great view of the dam, perfect for a nice photo.

You can stamp your hiking booklet here. The route to the locomotive is okay. It doesn't require much effort, even on a bike. The locomotive doesn't look that impressive, but the view isn't bad.

Magnificent view over the southern Harz

Always welcome.

Great starting point for hikes, bike tours and so on...👍🏻

Beautiful spot, especially at sunset as you can look directly into the valley from there. A dream!!! 😎👍

Ebersburg Castle lies on a porphyry cone on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains, north of the village of Herrmannsacker, at the western end of the Wetzel Valley, through which the Krebsbach stream flows. The ruins are dominated by its massive castle tower. With its still preserved height of 18 meters and its impressive wall thickness of 4.50 meters, it conveys an impression of strength, power, and durability. The castle was built in 1190 by Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. The castle was built between 1180 and 1191 at the behest of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally. It was the northernmost fortification of the Thuringian Empire and is today probably the only castle ruin in Germany that has been preserved as a complete, purely Romanesque structure.
