Falkenstein Castle - Selke valley

The only preserved castle in the Harz, Falkenstein Castle, lies directly on the path. It is especially known for Eike von Repgow, who translated the Sachsenspiegel into German here. The castle's museum presents a permanent exhibition on Eike von Repgow and the Asse castles. Above and below the castle are the two outer baileys still recognizable by their embankments. The subsequent hike in the Selke valley provides an impression of the Selke nature reserve and FFH area. Info boards provide information about this. Shortly before the end of the route, the former Asseburg court site is passed, which is also explained on an info board.
