    Hiking

    In the castle park you can find a Süntel beech, Fagus sylvatica, is a rare variety of the common beech. Süntel beeches impress with their twisted, stunted, fused branches and their very short, twisted trunks.
    Depending on its location, the Süntelbuche is known by various botanical names and common names such as Krause beech, stunted beech, umbrella beech, snake beech or renk beech. In the past they were also known as witches' wood or devil's beech because they were considered to be enchanted or corrupted by the devil.

    The castle park with the adjacent Hofwiesenteiche ponds are worth a visit
