Goldbergsee and view of Schloss Callenberg

The Goldbergsee is one of the most visited local recreation areas between the districts of Neuses and Beiersdorf. The reservoir has an area of 145 hectares and primarily serves as a flood retention basin for the people of Coburg. But the lake and the area around it have long since developed into a popular destination for walkers, hikers, cyclists and nature lovers. Views of Callenberg Castle, which sits majestically on a mountain above the lake, the view of the nature reserve “Bird Sanctuary Glender Wiesen” or the idyllic Rückerthäuschen, where the poet Friedrich Rückert spent many happy hours, make a trip an experience. We also recommend the 14 km long “Coburger Meer” circular hiking trail, which runs along Lake Goldbergsee. From May to September, the “Goldstrand” restaurant there offers food and drinks and creates a real beach feeling with deck chairs on the sand.Source: coburg-rennstei
