The path leads through the yew tunnel of the burial island to the castle courtyard with a water feature. The gentle route invites you to enjoy nature and linger on various seating areas.
The Rentei with the castle café offers coffee and homemade cakes. Right next door is the German Vending Machine Museum with historic coin-operated machines. A special feature: anyone who completes the hiking trail and takes photos at the marked photo points will receive a Schloss Benkhausen certificate at the museum.
