Goldbergsee (Coburg Sea)

Highlight • Lake

Goldbergsee, a 145-hectare reservoir, was originally created as a flood control basin. Today, it is one of the most popular recreational areas in Coburg.

The lake was created at the end of 2010. Since then, it has become a popular destination for day trips. The idyllic surroundings offer beautiful views of the majestic Callenberg Castle, which overlooks the lake, and the Glender Wiesen bird sanctuary.

Glender Wiesen Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The Glender Wiesen Bird Sanctuary nature reserve has existed since 1989. It is one of the few remaining large-scale wetland areas in Upper Franconia. With the construction of the Goldbergsee to protect the city of Coburg from flooding, large areas of the nature reserve were flooded in 2010. In addition to the biotope lake in the nature reserve, the Grundsee lake was created south of the railway line. New habitats, particularly for waders and waterfowl, have been able to develop since then. The northern part of the Grundsee, like the nature reserve, is also an EU bird sanctuary.
