There are also parking spaces at the castle, so you can save yourself the trip through the town.

In the castle grounds, it is worth stopping at the castle tavern. Open daily, except Tuesdays, from the beginning of spring to December 27th.

There is a beautiful view of the Saale valley from Igelsberg, about 1 km from the castle.
