Hausberg, Hill with medieval castle ruins in Jena, Germany
The Hausberg rises 391.7 meters above sea level on the eastern side of Jena, featuring limestone formations and the tall Fuchsturm tower.
During the Middle Ages, the hill contained four castles known as Kirchberger Schlösser, with Burg Greifenberg first mentioned in historical records from 1156.
The Fuchsturm tower stands as one of the seven recognized landmarks of Jena, marking the hill's position above the Saale River valley.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit, including Route 6 and Route 12, which connect to other natural areas like Lobdeburg and Teufelslöcher.
A geological trail starts from Jena-Ost, leading visitors to stone markers placed behind the Fuchsturm that were established as memorials in 1936.
