If you are planning a particular hike, check the latest route information in advance: details about the trail network may change. The names of these two trails provide a starting point for planning, but do not indicate a specific distance or walking time.

Water castle and museum

The water castle of the Counts of Spiegelberg was built around 1300. The surviving complex includes the surrounding moat and parts of the massive medieval fortifications. Its construction date and surviving features give the castle its historical significance; the water castle in Coppenbrügge is also home to a museum.

The Coppenbrügge Museum presents the natural history of the Ith and Osterwald regions. It also features traditional crafts such as pottery, shoemaking, and linen weaving. The museum thus combines a look at regional nature with insights into traditional crafts. Its varied subjects offer visitors a chance to tailor their visit to their personal interests.

A special focus is the 1697 meeting between Peter the Great and Electress Sophie of Hanover. Another collection explores the history of pilgrimage on the Ith and the veneration of the Madonna of Spiegelberg. The museum’s scope therefore ranges from a historical encounter to religious tradition. A multimedia or audio guide complements the museum’s offerings; check which visitor services are currently available before your visit.
