Those who pass by here on their way to the Spiegelslustturm can enjoy the beautiful view of the castle sparkling through the trees just as much as a concert-goer can enjoy the opening act: the best is yet to come, but the band is good for "warming up". This dynamic castle imagery scenario changes constantly with the seasons and the trees growing and falling.

Hiking

As soon as you enter the forest at the end of Geschwister-Scholl-Straße on Ortenberg in Marburg, you can catch a glimpse of the city of Marburg and its castle through the trees. The view is particularly impressive, for example, on the way back from the Spiegelslust Tower toward Marburg city (Geschwister-Scholl-Straße).
