The former moated castle is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. However, next door you'll find the Michelin-starred restaurant (Bembergs Häuschen) and the beautiful beer garden with restaurant (Landlust).

Steinbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Very busy on weekends. The circular route is completely paved.
