Tourism A 12.4 km long circular path leads through the nature reserve around Lake Großkayna. There, apart from nature, you can also admire two herds of wild horses and a herd of wild cows. There are also two towers, each with information boards and a picnic table. There are also several information boards around the lake about the Braunsbedra mining area. From Lake Großkayna there are paths to Lake Runstedt and Lake Geiseltal. There is also a sailing club and a surfing club on the north bank. In the eastern part of Lake Großkayna you can sunbathe on several unofficial beaches or swim in the lake.

The lake is partly located in a designated nature reserve.

Wild horses were also introduced here to maintain the landscape. You can also visit two cute observation towers here.

The gradient is a fascinating structure from the 1970s. The water of the White Elster rushes down several meters with great noise...

The castle garden and the castle garden salon are part of the historic castle ensemble. The castle garden was created in 1661 as a baroque pleasure garden. Today it is one of the 50 selected, historically most significant gardens in the "Garden Dreams" tourist network. The obelisks erected around 1690 are dedicated to the first ducal couples. The castle garden, which has been completely renovated with disabled access and made more attractive, is open all year round free of charge and offers peace and relaxation as the green heart in the middle of the city.

The lake is just as easy to circumnavigate thanks to the Geiseltalsee cycle path network.

The two-storey building was built in 1727 according to plans by Johann Michael Hoppenhaupt in the Baroque style by order of Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Merseburg and was intended to serve as a ballroom for garden parties. The building was completed between 1731 and 1735. The facade of the palace garden salon, which was built on a rectangular ground plan, has 13 axes and is oriented to the south towards the palace garden. Three axes each on the east and west sides protrude from the building as side projections. (Wikipedia)
