    Hiking

    On the steep slopes that rise to the "Hennenkopf", a cascade decorated with stone vases and 30 steps was created from the north side of the castle. The artificial waterfall is flanked by linden tree arbors. At the end of these there are stone figures that symbolize four continents.
    The lower end is a basin with a water-spouting Neptune group, at the feet of which there is a flowerbed in the shape of a Bourbon lily.

    Hiking

    The fountain depicts the Roman deity Neptune, the god of the sea, surrounded by nereids and sea creatures. It is part of the romantic landscaping commissioned by King Ludwig II for his summer residence. Visitors can view the fountain and grotto as part of guided park tours or during an independent walk through the castle park.
