In recent years, visiting this place has become a mixed bag. The food can be good, but it's not always guaranteed. The restaurant has changed hands frequently, and each owner tries something different. And that doesn't always work. But the good news is: coffee and a beachy vibe are always available in the summer.

I would simply call this place a fish pond :) But anyway - it's always great to take a walk around the beautiful pond.

Beautiful ponds. An easy circular trail. However, it's not wheelchair accessible. Accessible with strollers, but not with wheelchairs. Free parking is available.

Originally fortified with a wide moat, the fortified complex was a strategically important border fortress against the constant threat from the east. The castle became state property and has been owned by the market town of Burgau since 1871. In recent years, the castle, the inner courtyard, and the outer bailey with its round tower have been restored. The round tower houses the municipal office and a castle café; the outer bailey contains apartments; the cellar of the main castle features a beautiful brick vault and is used for various club events. The ballroom on the second floor and the inner courtyard with its arcaded vault are used for a variety of cultural events, including weddings and conferences.
