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.

For centuries, Callenberg Castle has been owned and used by the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. For the ducal family, it remains a link between the past and the present. The castle is open from April to October: Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; in November and December: Thursday to Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is €8.

The Spenglersbrunnen (Spengler Fountain) stands on the southeast side of Coburg's market square at the corner of Ketschengasse. The fountain was built as a wooden structure in 1550 in front of the property of citizen Spengler. Since 1621, it has been a stone fountain, which was rebuilt in 1673. The Spenglersbrunnen drew its water from the Pilgramsroth stream, and from 1670 onward, it was piped via the Rückertbrunnen (Reckert Fountain). Today, it is fed by the water mains. Renovations were carried out in 1980 and 2005. The octagonal box fountain has a fountain head formed as a baluster with a pearl bar and a leaf wreath. A spout is present on the front. The basin wall is decorated with, among other things, a relief depicting a lion and a Moor's head. On the column stands a stone lion holding two shields depicting the city's coat of arms, a lion and a Moor's head.

It is understandable that Callenberg Castle became the main residence, if only because of the magical surroundings.
