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.
