Unfortunately, this trail is no longer passable. The harvester has completely destroyed this beautiful path. Tons of trees have been felled and uprooted; the trail is no longer recognizable. (As of February 27, 2026)

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.
