Hiking

The castle ruins can be hiked quickly and easily from Neustadt. It is said to have been built around 1120 and offers an impressive backdrop. It can be visited at any time and an iron staircase leads to the ruined tower, from which you have a wonderful view. There is a very good restaurant just below the castle ruins. If you want to see even more, you should continue to Poppenberg.

Mountain biking

The Hohnstein castle ruins are a great destination. After a relatively short, steep ascent you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view in a medieval setting. There is also a restaurant.

Hiking

The ascent is rewarded with a beautiful view. The castle ruins are managed, here you can stay well! For the stamp hikers of the Harzer hiking nobility there is a stamp post (98). The Neustädter dam is not far away, the way is worth it!
