In 2007, Ronneburg was the co-host of the Federal Garden Show together with the city of Gera. Many areas were redesigned or newly created in preparation for the garden show. Much has changed in the city. Numerous sights invite a visit. These include the adventure mine with mining information center, Ronneburg Castle, the city park and the St. Marien church. A special highlight is the Neue Landschaft® Ronneburg with various attractions such as the large rose garden, Wismut exhibition, adventure bridge, climate adventure trail, event grandstand and discovery tower. Various bike and hiking trails run through the park. In addition, rest areas and playgrounds invite you to linger.
