Beautifully designed trail of legends with all sorts of stories 😉 that are said to have happened. Numerous sculptures and a wonderful path under the oak trees towards the hunting lodge. The path is a bit bumpy, but still easy to cycle. During the week, the whole area is yours. Meaning, no other people around.

From here, you can admire the Friedrichsmoor and Neuhöfer carp ponds. If you're lucky, you might even spot a bird of prey or two hunting. There are seating areas for a break. It's right next to the road.

Near the castle bridge begins Schloßstraße, which leads into the city center. Schloßstraße follows the course of the historic Klenower Dorfstraße and therefore has a slightly angled shape compared to Schlossplatz. The charming, two-story houses were designed by court architect Busch and feature a uniform eaves alignment. The four individual houses in each block are separated by so-called "Tüschen" – courtyard entrances. Particularly noteworthy are the four plaza-like widenings, enlivened by individual houses and special uses. The streetscape is characterized by vibrant red, unplastered brick buildings adorned with Dutch architectural elements. Come and discover this unique district! Cobblestones everywhere... not for stiletto heels! 🤣🤣
