The path around the Herzogweiher is very idyllic. You can watch the duck families circling there. The pond is fed by the Talmühlbach.

a lovingly tended botanical garden that is worth every trip. Even with a journey of about 80 km, I like to come at least once a year to see the wonders of nature

The Tierpark am Röhrensee (Tube Lake Animal Park) This park in the south of Bayreuth is a draw for all generations. Enclosures and aviaries are embedded in the park's landscape amidst mature trees by the lake. Animals such as Bennett's wallabies, Temminck's tragopan, and flamingos live in species-appropriate, naturally designed enclosures and represent the earth's biological diversity. Visitors will find botanical features and colorful summer flowerbeds in the park, as well as authentic nature experiences. A large playground offers various climbing opportunities, a water playground, and play equipment for people of all ages. In summer, boat rentals provide additional variety. The dining options, including a restaurant and kiosk, round out the excursion. Source: https://www.tierpark-roehrensee.de/

The Titan Arum, a very rare plant in Germany, blooms every 3 years and for just 2 days. You can admire it in the Botanical Garden in Bayreuth. But the Botanical Garden also has a lot to offer! A large area offers a variety of trees and plants from all continents. Benches all along the paths invite you to linger. The greenhouses are second to none!

Picturesquely situated pond fed by the Talmühlbach. Fantaisie Castle towers above it.

The pond is in the valley between the castle and the victory tower on the Talmühlbach. Upstream you come to the Salamandertal. Walk down the stream through the park to the sports field.
