The cypress lake is part of the English landscape park in the castle park. Originally circular, it has silted up and grown over in many places over the years. In the middle of the cypress lake, the bald cypress tree, which was probably planted by Count Alexander, has still been preserved today. Bald cypress trees actually come from southeastern North America and can grow up to 35 meters tall. This bald cypress is estimated to be around 100 years old. This is still a very young age for the tree, as bald cypresses can live up to 1000 years. The bald cypress in the castle park is now around 23 meters high and has a trunk circumference of around 2 meters. In the cold season the tree does not make a good impression. Bald cypresses not only shed their needle leaves in autumn, but also entire branches. However, when the tree sprouts bluish-green young shoots from June onwards, it is a real show. https://mit-mama-nach.de/traumrunde-schwanberg/

The Birkensee was created by the Celts as a water reservoir for humans and animals. It is idyllically situated in the forest and invites you to linger and explore.

The Birkensee on the Schwanberg plateau is a lake from the Celtic era. The Celts created it more than 2000 years ago in order to have enough water for people and cattle even in the event of danger. The remains of a watchtower have been found on the island in the middle of the lake. Up until Germanization there was a considerable Celtic oppidum on the Schwanberg.
