    Hiking

    The idyllic castle pond has a turbulent past. What today invites the most beautiful view of Thurnau Castle was a meadow for over 100 years. Only in 1978 was the area flooded again and redesigned into the current recreational area. The view across the water up to the castle is particularly beautiful.

    In the Advent season (only on a weekend) there is a very nice Christmas market with many exhibitors sell the pottery.

    You have the most beautiful view of the entire palace complex from the south over the lake.
