Großer Burgberg, Mountain summit in Bad Harzburg, Germany.
The Großer Burgberg rises to 483 meters above sea level at the northern edge of the Harz mountain range, overlooking the town of Bad Harzburg.
The summit contains ruins of an 11th-century fortress constructed under Heinrich IV, which served as a strategic stronghold during medieval German history.
The Canossa Column, erected in 1877 on the summit plateau, stands as a monument to Chancellor Otto von Bismarck at 482.8 meters elevation.
The Burgberg Cable Car, operating since 1929, transports visitors from the Radau River valley to the summit in three minutes.
From the summit plateau, visitors can observe both the medieval castle ruins and extensive views across Bad Harzburg to the Northern German Lowlands.
