Gebhardshagen Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle in Gebhardshagen, built around the year 1000, is one of the oldest in the state of Braunschweig. The original appearance of the castle, which had to be rebuilt several times due to military destruction in 1406 and during the Thirty Years War, can no longer be reconstructed today. It was probably surrounded by moats that were supplied by the Mühlbach flowing past. The former Amtsteich next to the castle still exists today.

The castle complex has been owned by the city of Salzgitter since 1986 and is looked after by the "Förderverein Wasserburg Gebhardshagen" - its buildings and the castle courtyard are regularly used for events and celebrations.

Gustedter Straße leads past Haverlahwiese 1 shaft from SZ Gebhardshagen towards Gustedt. From the bridge on the outskirts of SZ Gebhardshagen it goes up steeply (4-5%), past the shaft the gradient becomes significantly more moderate.

Oelber Castle

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful and very historical place! It's worth doing some research. The story of Gottfried von Cramm alone is worth it.

View from Lichtenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view, lousy asphalt.
Addendum: Since June 2024, the road up from Lichtenberg has been newly asphalted!

Serpentine on the SZ Ridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On the L670 between Gustedt and Gebhardshagen you meander up or down this serpentine on the SZ ridge. A feasible passage with a moderate 3% incline. Those who have reached the top will be rewarded with a wide field of vision over the Innerstetal.
Then the road forks in the directions Gebhardshagen and Steinlah.
