On the opposite side of the bed castle, separated by the road, Christian Truchseß had a landscaped park with monuments of knight's romance create, which has recently been restored as a natural monument again. The castle with a green castle tower Castle & Castles quality trail leads past him. In this park are a small chapel, the pillar of sibling love, a monument with the representation of Götz von Berlichingen and Franz von Sickingen, a monument to Ulrich von Hutten, the minnesinger place with stone stepped gables and benches, an artificial ruin and a bit out of the poet's house where Friedrich Rückert dreamed and composed.

The landscape park Bettenburg was commissioned in 1789 by Freiherr Christian Truchsess von Wetzhausen. Somewhat hidden in the forest, a circular path leads through the park, which is equipped with monuments and small buildings. The Minnesängerplatz, the artificial ruin and the monuments to Ulrich von Hutten, Götz von Berlichingen and Franz von Sickingen represent the builder's glorifying attitude to the German past. At the beginning of the 19th century, the baron gathered around him a group of writers, including Friedrich Rückert and Jean Paul, with the “Bettenburger Tafelrunde”, which is why the term “Franconian Weimar” is also used in this context.
