Fields, small villages, and an impressive castle ruinLike a Scottish castle, Arnstein Castle (12th century) towers high above the Einetal. Alongside Falkenstein, it was the most important castle of the eastern Harz region in the Middle Ages. The former ancestral seat of the lords of Arnstein belonged to the Counts of Mansfeld from 1387, passed to the Electorate of Saxony in 1780, and to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. Until 1945, it was owned by the Barons of Knigge. The palace can be climbed via a spiral staircase in the tower over several floors. Here, wide views of the surroundings open up. The castle ruin is a stamp station of the "Vorharzer Dreiländereckpfad".We hike a figure eight to also enjoy the most beautiful views of the castle. Along the way, several gems delight us: the Planteurhaus (1802) in Walbeck, a neoclassical villa in the style of Palladio (1508–1580), a rarity in these parts, the two coats of arms of the Knigge family on the outside of the former manor Pfersdorf, and the old gravestones with knight depictions in the Sylda churchyard. At the end of the tour, we enjoy the view of Walbeck Castle, built in 1765 on a former monastery and now used as a residential complex.
