The Graburg is neither a castle nor a castle ruin, but rather a mountain massif of shell limestone, lying on a base of red clay. Natural limestone beech forests, rocks, and landslides characterize the area. Due to its "scenic beauty and uniqueness," as well as its importance as a habitat for rare and endangered animal and plant species, the Graburg was declared a natural monument in 1915 and, starting in May 1965, a nature reserve.

By the way, there is a wonderful view not only of Weißenborn, but you can also easily follow the Green Belt all the way to the rear ridge, where you can also see from right to left: Treffurt with Normannstein Castle, then further to the left the Hülfensberg and in front of it Wanfried in the Werra Valley, further to the left the mountain with Greifenstein Castle and on the far left the Hessian Switzerland near Bad Sooden-Allendorf.

A small trail westward leads to a beautiful network of trees, designed as a tunnel/archway. We really liked it!

Unfortunately, it's already broken and fallen over after all these years. What a shame... a restoration would be great, because the hiking trail is really enjoyable, and the artworks make it pass quickly.

A very nice cabin, with a bench and a great view of Weißenborn.

Very, very beautiful! At first, you assume "the way west" is just a dirt path. If you follow it, you'll be surprised by a beautifully woven tunnel/archway.
