Tips
Exotic animals were kept here at the time of Duke Karl-August. You can still imagine this very well from the stable ruins. The ruin of the bear's kennel lies in the middle of the "Karlslust". There is also a table and two benches for resting. In the back of the ruin is the Mohren spring, from which a tasty water flows.

As a "bear cradle" a circular ring with 19 semicircular "cages" and a box is called. In the middle is a moat with a square island, on which stood a pavilion. The plant was by no means a bear-bearer, as it is called in the vernacular, but rather the small "stables" were aviaries.

There is no historical evidence that bears were actually kept here.
