    Hiking

    On the Buchleite hill, not far from Callenberg Castle, is the ducal cemetery for members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, established in 1944. Previously, the family members were buried in the ducal mausoleum in Coburg.
    Numerous stone steps form a curved staircase leading to the cemetery, surrounded by a low stone wall. A massive stone cross and seven burial plots covered by crypt slabs are located here. The grave of Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is still fresh and bears a wooden cross. He died on April 3, 2025.

    Hidden in the forest is the Ducal Tomb. There are steps up and a fence is outside.

    Not only the duke, but generally members of the ducal house, could bury here
    become. Not to be confused with the ducal dog cemetery.
