ヴァイトラムスドルフのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Worthwhile and somewhat hidden/unknown. The path directly below the castle is difficult to follow due to deadwood and undergrowth. However, further up there is a better branch that makes it more accessible.

On the Buchleite hill, not far from Callenberg Castle, is the ducal cemetery for members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, established in 1944. Previously, the family members were buried in the ducal mausoleum in Coburg. Numerous stone steps form a curved staircase leading to the cemetery, surrounded by a low stone wall. A massive stone cross and seven burial plots covered by crypt slabs are located here. The grave of Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is still fresh and bears a wooden cross. He died on April 3, 2025.

For centuries, Callenberg Castle has been owned and used by the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. For the ducal family, it remains a link between the past and the present. The castle is open from April to October: Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; in November and December: Thursday to Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is €8.

Callenberg Castle is surrounded by 350 hectares of forest: visitors can explore the former hunting grounds of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha along beautiful trails. According to tradition, the land directly surrounding Callenberg Castle is home to red and fallow deer, and visitors can observe the game up close.

The Baroque palace was built in several phases at the end of the 17th and 18th centuries (1694-1786) as a summer residence for the abbots of Langheim. During the first phase, the Langheim abbot Gallus Knauer had the eastern wing built between 1694 and 1698, based on plans attributed to Johann Leonard Dietzenhofer. The later sections of the west wing and western central wing were originally constructed as four-story outbuildings. The four floors reached a total height equal to the three living floors of the first building section. However, by the end of the 18th century, there was already a desire to make the palace-like three-wing complex more prestigious.
