Tobias Angles
December 26, 2025, Ducal Cemetery of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

Worthwhile and somewhat hidden/unknown. The path directly below the castle is difficult to follow due to deadwood and undergrowth. However, further up there is a better branch that makes it more accessible.

On the Buchleite hill, not far from Callenberg Castle, is the ducal cemetery for members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, established in 1944. Previously, the family members were buried in the ducal mausoleum in Coburg. Numerous stone steps form a curved staircase leading to the cemetery, surrounded by a low stone wall. A massive stone cross and seven burial plots covered by crypt slabs are located here. The grave of Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is still fresh and bears a wooden cross. He died on April 3, 2025.

Callenberg Castle is surrounded by 350 hectares of forest: visitors can explore the former hunting grounds of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha along beautiful trails. According to tradition, the land directly surrounding Callenberg Castle is home to red and fallow deer, and visitors can observe the game up close.
