A beautiful area with three magnificent castles and other buildings including parks - the journey here is worthwhile in both good and bad weather. Two of the castles have exhibitions and the Bauhaus pottery also invites you to visit.

February 27, 2022,Erdengraben-Märzenbecher-Schlösser-Tour ab Dornburg

Today we went to Dornburg again to hike through the Erdengraben. The scenery is really very beautiful, always along the rushing stream, lined with many March cups. The paths in the Erdengraben are, in my opinion, borderline, there are very many trees across, so that it became a pure climbing and adventure tour. Often the paths in between are no …

Spring says hello - nice round, fortunately the ground was frosty and the path on the Röderbach was easy to walk on. Then visit the castles and enjoy the view.

The Dornburg Castle backdrop looks impressive when you look to the left from the main road above the rocks. Today we drive the short way up to one of the many parking spaces. It will always be exciting, at the latest after the view from the castle skull. Up to this elevation of just over 200 m above sea level. …

The route along the Röderbach is almost impassable. Apart from the fact that the stream has dried up, the path is very steep and slippery in places, sometimes impossible to see, and there are a lot of fallen trees on the path that have to be overcome. Sturdy shoes and walking sticks are an absolute must if you decide to …
