Falkenstein Castle, formerly known as Neuer Falkenstein Castle, is a medieval hilltop castle in the Harz Mountains. It belongs to the municipality of Falkenstein/Harz in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt. It was built between 1120 and 1180.
The most impressive castle rises high above the Selke valley. The Counts of Falkenstein had it built in the first half of the 12th century.
The Selketal is a nature reserve covering around 660 hectares near the town of Falkenstein/Harz in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt. The nature reserve stretches south of Ballenstedt along the deeply incised Selke Valley between Meisdorf and the municipal border with Quedlinburg and Harzgerode.
The Harz, called Hart ('mountain forest') until the Middle Ages, is a low mountain range in Germany and the highest mountain range in northern Germany. It lies at the intersection of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The legendary Harz Mountains are home to extensive forests, bizarre rock formations, moors that are thousands of years old, original streams and the majestic Brocken. At 1142 metres above sea level, the Brocken is the highest mountain in the Harz low mountain range, in Saxony-Anhalt and in the whole of northern Germany.
