Free parking is available at the information point. For hiking and strolling, I would drive to the train station or cemetery in the reserve.

It's a neo-Gothic castle gate—an entrance to Sieglitzer Park (I've never heard of the Luisium Gate; the Luisium is a good 5 km away. In the 18th century, Sieglitzer Park was fenced in and accessible only through three gates. Prince Franz retreated here when he wanted some peace and quiet.) The park around Luisium Palace, on the other hand, was accessible to everyone at any time.
