I would strongly advise against swimming. There was an unfortunate fatality in June.

The reservoir is also very beautiful, but the bridge also comes out well.

Goldbergsee, a 145-hectare reservoir located between the districts of Neuses and Beiersdorf, is one of Coburg's most popular recreational areas. Originally conceived as a flood control basin, the lake has long since become a favorite destination for walks, hikes, bike rides, and relaxing breaks in nature. In the idyllic surroundings of Coburg, you'll enjoy beautiful views of the majestic Callenberg Castle, perched high on a hill overlooking the lake, and the Glender Wiesen bird sanctuary. Also worth a visit is the Rückerthaus, where the famous poet Friedrich Rückert once spent many happy hours. A highlight for hiking enthusiasts is the 14-kilometer "Coburg Sea" circular trail, which runs along Goldbergsee and offers breathtaking natural scenery.

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.
