Recently, wild ponies have also been found in the Glerner meadows. They look rustic and are currently the attraction for walkers.

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.

The poet had the Friedrich Rückert summer house built on the Goldberg near Coburg in 1846. Friedrich Rückert spent much time in this idyllic refuge, writing political poems and working on translations of Arabic poetry.

From the platform, you can observe a wide variety of birds and identify them using the information panels. However, the identification panels are quite faded and should be replaced.
