View of Hanstein Castle from the rest area

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view of the ruins of Hanstein Castle and the small town of Rimbach. But the mountains and the forest in the background also invite you to take a hike. The paths are well maintained and well signposted.

Top hiking trail Hanstein-Teufelskanzel with 3 stamps for the Touringen stamp booklet....
I've been up there many times, but I didn't know parts of this trail. I find the stamp box at the Friesenweiher "hmmmm" strange corner, I think that this stamp would have been better suited to the Junkerkuppe or the Teufelskanzel. The pond is somehow nothing special.
Otherwise …

August 24, 2024,"Touringen" - Burgruine Hanstein - Teufelskanzel 🛡⚔️👹

The circular hiking trail begins on the edge of Rimbach. From here you can take a detour to the Hanstein castle ruins. This landmark of the Eichsfeld in the border triangle of Thuringia, Hesse and Lower Saxony is probably over 1,000 years old 👀🛕

August 23, 2024,TOP-Wanderweg Hanstein-Teufelskanzel (Bus-Bornhagen - Bus-Bornhagen)

Today I had the idea of hiking one of the TOP hiking trails in the Eichsfeld region, also because the bus connections are more likely to be available on weekdays. My choice quickly fell on Bornhagen, as I wanted to have another look around before the state elections.
The tour is definitely highly recommended. I had already visited Hanstein Castle …

A worthwhile lap that we will repeat with blue skies and nice weather. The castle, beautiful valley views along the way and of course at the Teufelskanzel and the Lindenwerra view and some history on the green belt - fits.
