Goldbergsee, a 145-hectare reservoir located between the districts of Neuses and Beiersdorf, is one of Coburg's most popular recreational areas. Originally conceived as a flood control basin, the lake has long since become a favorite destination for walks, hikes, bike rides, and relaxing breaks in nature. In the idyllic surroundings of Coburg, you'll enjoy beautiful views of the majestic Callenberg Castle, perched high on a hill overlooking the lake, and the Glender Wiesen bird sanctuary. Also worth a visit is the Rückerthaus, where the famous poet Friedrich Rückert once spent many happy hours. A highlight for hiking enthusiasts is the 14-kilometer "Coburg Sea" circular trail, which runs along Goldbergsee and offers breathtaking natural scenery.

This is where the "Totenlache" station on the Siemau Legend Trail is located. The legend on the panel is worth reading and interesting.
