There's always something going on here when the weather's nice. The meadows are popular for picnics, parties, and anything else fun outdoors. Even on hot sunny days, you'll always find a shady spot under the trees.

It was founded around 1650. Over the years, a small chapel, the Käppele, developed into today's pilgrimage church of the Visitation of Mary and Our Lady of Sorrows. The pilgrimage church is popularly known as the Käppele.

View of Marienberg Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Marienburg Fortress is particularly worth seeing because of its excellent preservation. The climb by bike is difficult, but worthwhile. From the castle, you have a magnificent view of the city.
