Herzogsbrunnen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Herzogsbrunnen (Duke's Fountain) is a spring near Rödental-Oberwohlsbach and is located near the Hohe Schwenge peak and the quarry nature reserve near Taimbach. The following information can be found on the Rödental town website:
"The area around Lauterburg Castle was once a favorite hunting ground of the Dukes of Coburg. It was a separate forestry district (see Taimbach Forester's House) and had its own forester. For all those involved in a hunt, the spring was a popular meeting place and resting place. So, it was only natural to name it "Herzogsbrunnen" (Duke's Fountain) when, in 1907, nature and hiking enthusiasts had it dug and the fountain created.
The plaque on the Herzogsbrunnen bears the following inscription: "What you sought when you crossed the threshold of your home, here you will find it: the pure air, a drink from the cool spring – and deep rest in the quiet peace of the forest."

In the upper reaches of the Itz River, individual peaks in the Franconian Fault-Block Country reach heights of approximately 500 meters. The Hohe Schwenge, between the Itz River and its tributary, the Fornbach, is one of the highest elevations at 505 meters.

The Schwengbrunn Natural Forest Reserve lies on its southwestern lower slope and extends down to the Fornbach Valley. The stands, which have emerged from coppice management, are home to pedunculate oak, beech, quaking aspen, spruce, silver birch, hornbeam, small-leaved linden, field maple, and Norway maple. Numerous hazel trees are also present.

Lauterburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Nicely maintained complex. The ascent by bike through Oberwohlsbach is relatively steep, but worthwhile. After looking around the ruins, you can ride a few trails in the adjacent forest, or stop off at the "Alte Mühle" if you are at the end of your tour ... Both are recommended!

🌈 Rosenau Castle Park

Highlight • Castle

The beautiful Rosenau Castle Park is located in Unterwohlsbach, on the edge of the urban area of Rödental near Coburg, Bavaria.
Rosenau Castle is located in the middle of the park. It is the birthplace of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who later became the husband of Queen Victoria. Today Rosenau Castle is used as a museum.
