The beach, which is accessible from all points via the circular path, is partly natural and partly prepared for bathing with sports and games. In many places, small steps have been newly created from the circular path down to the water, and there are many fishing spots and benches with a view.

Frohburg Castle and Castle Park. An around 1200 built castle complex. Expanded through alterations and extensions to a stately castle complex. Today it houses the City Museum.
