The numerous seating options on the site (some with tables) and the large playground can also be used when the Knittelberghaus (since 1928) is closed. There is a beautiful view of the surrounding hills.

Hut located on the Grabener Allee (the longest of the avenues radiating from the castle) from 1912 with a covered seating area. The Hirschgraben runs alongside the Allee to the Galgengraben (the Alte Bach). The two ditches meet at the picnic tables.

It's located right next to the Gallows Ditch. I wonder where that got its name from??...

A wonderful and idyllic bike tour from the bird park in Wörth to the Scherpfer Häusel (by pedal cart, approx. 10 km)

Lake Erlach is currently the last refuge for amphibians in the Oberwald. The previously declining amphibian population was counteracted by the targeted design of the water body. Here they find a habitat that the floodplain landscape of the Rhine had offered them since time immemorial, before human cultivation destroyed it.
