Trageburg
The Trageburg is a ruined castle immediately next to the Rappbode Pre-Dam in the Harz Mountains of Germany. It is located near Trautenstein in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt.
Its purpose, like that of the nearby Susenburg, was to protect an old long-distance trade route that ran north-south over the Harz. The Trogfurth Bridge also belonged to this road system.
The Trageburg is checkpoint no. 52 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking badge system.
