Wöbelsburg, Nature reserve in Bleicherode, Germany.

Wöbelsburg is a nature reserve in Bleicherode covering approximately 66 hectares of protected land with diverse plant species and natural habitats. The area is crossed by a network of marked trails that provide visitors with access to different sections of the reserve.

The 65.9-hectare area, reserve number 005, was placed under protection in 1961. Its history reaches further back: on the spur above the Wipper valley lies a wall-and-ditch fortification, probably Iron Age, whose finds date it to the late Hallstatt period. A 1275 document names the hill "a monte qui Wibelsberg nominatur".

The name Wöbelsburg, recorded in 1275 as "a monte qui Wibelsberg nominatur", refers to the 429.2-metre hill itself. On its spur, enclosed on three sides by a steep Muschelkalk slope above the Wipper valley, lie the remains of a wall and ditch around a roughly 140 by 300 metre inner area, dated by finds to the late Hallstatt period.

The reserve can be reached via marked trails accessible from Bleicherode, allowing visitors to explore the protected area on their own. Local environmental organizations offer guided tours during warmer months for those seeking deeper insights into the local nature.

On the mountain spur itself, a wall and ditch enclose an inner area of about 140 by 300 metres; the earthwork is still readable in the terrain. Finds place the fortification in the late Hallstatt period, and a 1275 document names the hill "a monte qui Wibelsberg nominatur".
