Hardenstein Castle
Witten, Germany, Germany
Hardenstein Castle, or Burg Hardenstein, in Witten, Germany, is a medieval ruined fortress from around 1354 situated east of Herbede on the Ruhr River's banks, surrounded by forested mountains and once central to a key mining area.
The remnants feature two round towers and sturdy crushed-stone walls within a defensive layout including a central keep, curtain walls, and moat, tied to local legends like the Nibelungs and a dwarf king named Goldemar who brought prosperity before vanishing.
Privately owned as an 8th-class monument, the scenic, hard-to-reach site draws hikers for its folklore, nature trails, and river views despite limited accessibility.
