Austberg, Mountain summit in Wernigerode, Germany.
The Austberg rises 292 meters above sea level in the northern Harz Foreland, featuring limestone rock formations and dense forest coverage.
The Austberg Tower, constructed around 1250 by the Regenstein counts, functioned as a strategic watchtower within their regional defense network.
The mountain area contains three ancient menhirs along a dedicated trail, with the largest stone measuring 3.5 meters in height.
A marked 7-kilometer circular trail leads visitors through the mountain's varied terrain, culminating at the observation platform of the restored tower.
The mountain's limestone composition supports rare plant species, leading to its designation as a protected FFH natural area since 2004.
