Circular walk through the town and through the Bärengraben (idyllic moat) to the Friedberg adventure mountain.

A pleasant walking path leads from the central main square in Friedberg up to the Friedberg Adventure Mountain. A special highlight along the way is the Bärengraben, which offers a soothing refreshment on warm summer days with its pleasant coolness.

Once at the top, visitors are greeted by an impressive observation deck with a magnificent view of Friedberg and the surrounding countryside. Young and old explorers alike can discover the lovingly designed “Burg Friedberg” themed playground and learn interesting facts about the history of the town and its castle from informative display boards. Modern restroom facilities also provide additional comfort, making the Erlebnisberg a worthwhile destination for the whole family.
