Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

The ship's restaurant "Seeperle" has a rich history. In 1892, the passenger side-wheel steamer left the shipyard in Dresden-Blasewitz and was christened "Graf Molthe." At that time, the steamer sailed under the Saxon-Bohemian flag on the Upper Elbe. In 1945, it was confiscated by Czechoslovakia. In 1947, it was renamed "Königstein" and served with the "White Fleet Dresden" until its final decommissioning in 1972. The then Eisleben Consumer Cooperative purchased the ship and converted it into a restaurant. It was rechristened on July 7, 1973. This time, the ship was renamed "Seeperle" and became a restaurant with a bar on the Süßen See. In 1991, the ship's restaurant was again put up for sale. Long-time chef Jürgen Meinecke acquired the restaurant and has successfully run it ever since.

The church is always open, but don't go past the donation box.💰

The Röseltal path is heavily washed out in the lower half, from the beginning of the forest (towards Süßer See) and is not suitable for bicycles or gravel bikes. And certainly not uphill! (As of 2024). But with a mountain bike it rocks!
