Goldbergsee, a 145-hectare reservoir located between the districts of Neuses and Beiersdorf, is one of Coburg's most popular recreational areas. Originally conceived as a flood control basin, the lake has long since become a favorite destination for walks, hikes, bike rides, and relaxing breaks in nature. In the idyllic surroundings of Coburg, you'll enjoy beautiful views of the majestic Callenberg Castle, perched high on a hill overlooking the lake, and the Glender Wiesen bird sanctuary. Also worth a visit is the Rückerthaus, where the famous poet Friedrich Rückert once spent many happy hours. A highlight for hiking enthusiasts is the 14-kilometer "Coburg Sea" circular trail, which runs along Goldbergsee and offers breathtaking natural scenery.

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.

The beautiful path along the shore leads over a bridge toward Callenberg Castle. It's a pleasant ride, with a fantastic view of the lake as you cross the bridge.

Anyone passing by the Globe Coburg should stop for a moment: the unusual building and the open grounds are a lovely place to take a breather.

The Globe in Coburg is a modern interim venue for the Coburg State Theater during the multi-year renovation of its historic main building. It opened on October 6, 2023, on the site of the former freight depot. The circular building with its striking wooden facade is not only a theater, but also a multifunctional building for various cultural and educational events. It seats up to 584 spectators and features flexible stage technology that allows for plays, operas, concerts, and ballets. Although originally intended as a temporary solution, the Globe Coburg quickly developed into an important part of Coburg's cultural life and is expected to continue to be used even after the main building reopens.
