The adjacent castle park with the “Orangery” and the hiking trail with the linden tree avenue around the castle pond is a real highlight 😊... The Orangery: Orange and lemon trees overwintered here 🍊🍋. But today the Orangery can be rented for art exhibitions, concerts and events 😉...

In my opinion, the view of the castle is the most beautiful from here. The path through the forest around the pond was great to drive, but it will certainly be really crowded in summer (?)
