Footpath to the park through the adjacent forest (15 – 20 min.):
Opposite my parking space, take the small footpath into the woods and turn right. Stay on the hiking trail, neither up nor down. When you come out of the woods and look down, you'll see the Druseltal tram terminus. Then look across the street and find a blue sign (mother with child) to take the narrow footpath. Follow this path along the edge of the woods until the path leads down to Hugo-Preuß-Straße. Then turn left past the houses. After 80 meters, you'll reach the park. If you then go up to the left, you'll come to Löwenburg, then down through the park to the castle.
