The Goldburg once stood in the middle of the forest on a large hill. The depression that runs here is said to have marked its moat. The knights Lutz lived on it, to whom the place name Lutzingen is said to be attributed. Good story, right? It is. According to legend, the castle and its inhabitants and treasures are said to have sunk into the forest. With a little luck, you might find the gold.

Three territories – the Duchy of Bavaria, the County of Öttingen, and that of Prince Thurn and Taxis – met here.

The combination of wide forest paths, trails as well as shade and open clearings find the right unity here.
