View of Planteurhaus and Planteurhaus Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful mansion in the former castle park, the approaching lake with a bench on the small peninsula are a nice highlight.

Brummetal Rest Area with Engraved Table

Highlight • Rest Area

The mighty chestnut tree stands at the intersection of Brummetal, Sylda and Arnstein Castle.
Here you can rest and let your gaze wander.
A special feature is the carved table top.

Arnstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Already visible from afar but behind the next. The curve has already disappeared.
The ruin has everything you could wish for.
She has the look of. Castles from Scotland.
It is accessible and offers beautiful views and numerous photo opportunities.
What is missing is a rest area.
But there is a reason.

Picnic area at Arnstein Castle

Highlight • Rest Area

The place is very nice for a rest, but the seating doesn't fit there at all. From a distance it almost looked like plastic. That really hurts a little.

Burg Arnstein Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

It doesn't matter whether you walk from the parking lot in the direction of Arnstein or visit the old outdoor pool or pond, everything is hikeable here.

Secret Tunnel to Hakerode Castle

Highlight • Cave

Cool thing, and I forgot the lamp, screams for a second visit.
The mausoleum, the tunnels, and the castle make Hakerode a worthwhile starting point.

Mausoleum

Highlight • Monument

Mauseleum of the von Knigge family, a structurally very beautiful tomb. The entrance portal appears to have been restored.

It was a nice tour. Sometimes the path is not easy to see because it is overgrown or a fallen tree. But it is pleasant to walk with the disabled 9 kg dachshund in the backpack 😉. Incidentally, the view into the distance is wonderful.
