Falkenstein/Harz, Medieval town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Falkenstein/Harz extends across the northeastern Harz foothills, featuring wide fields that merge into the forested low mountain range of the eastern Lower Harz plateau.
The town emerged in 2002 through the consolidation of seven municipalities: Ermsleben, Endorf, Meisdorf, Neuplatendorf, Pansfelde, Reinstedt, and Wieserode.
The Sachsenspiegel, Germany's first medieval law book, was written between 1220 and 1235 by Lord Graf Hoyer von Falkenstein at Castle Falkenstein.
Falkenstein/Harz maintains multiple information centers throughout the region, offering guidance about local attractions, accommodations, and regional activities.
The castle grounds incorporate a functioning falconry, where visitors can observe birds of prey while exploring the medieval fortification above the Selke Valley.
