Burgberg, Mountain summit in Lower Saxony, Germany
The Burgberg rises to 482.80 meters above sea level, offering views across Bad Harzburg and the neighboring Harz mountain range.
During the Saxon Rebellion between 1073 and 1075, King Henry IV ordered the construction of a castle fortress atop the Burgberg summit.
The Canossa Column stands at the summit since 1877, marking Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's influence and commemorating the Walk to Canossa event.
The Burgberg Cable Car provides transportation to the summit, where visitors can examine castle ruins and read information boards about the location.
The original castle contained a secret underground passage that allowed King Henry IV to escape during a siege by Saxon nobles.
