Mountain hut & inn Teufelskanzel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The inn is certainly not easy up here, but a rustic inn to my taste, so it can be expensive at times.
Especially because of regional cuisine 👌

Coming from Ministerblick on the Kolonnenweg towards Rimbach, there is a bench above the parking lot with a beautiful view of the castle 🏰Hanstein.
Or through the gate on the grounds of Ludwigstein Castle.

July 23, 2022,Burg Hanstein und die Teufelskanzel

From Bornhagen we first go to Hanstein Castle.
The castle probably dates from around 1000, was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Then in the Thirty Years' War it was finally destroyed by Swedish troops. Since then the castle has not been inhabited.
Parts of the film "The Medic" were filmed here.

A short stop on the way home after a week's holiday in Thuringia.
Just a quick walk to stretch our legs and have lunch. We spontaneously decide to visit the castle. The €3.50 entrance fee per person is worth it, in my opinion.

November 14, 2021,Von Burg Hanstein über Teufelskanzel zum Lindenwerrablick

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.

🥾 Opening Hike 2026 of the Eschenstruth Mountain Club

With 16 hiking enthusiasts and one four-legged companion, we kicked off the new season at the Burg Hanstein hiking parking lot in Bornhagen. Despite snow, fog, and slippery conditions, our guide expertly led us along the trail.

A truly wonderful tour. The Teufelskanzel has an incredibly great view and the path itself is magical. You should definitely do it!

September 17, 2024,Von Gerbershausen zur Teufelskanzel

The starting point was the Bronze Devil at the Rothenbach car park near Gerbershausen.

From here it was about 4.5 kilometers to the Lindewerrablick, above the horseshoe-shaped bend of the Werra river. The stick-making village is located exactly on the border between Hesse and Thuringia.

April 18, 2023,Teufelskanzel – Blick auf Burgruine Hanstein

Little walk with friends and dog on the way to Dresden. Halfway along the trail, on the Thuringia/Hesse border, are the Hanstein castle ruins, ideal for a longer break to stretch your legs.
