"Only a few minutes from the center (by tram) you’ll get engaged with this very untouched nature (protected area). Don’t forget to breathe as deep as possible!"

"Clean, large and accessible nature park with 2 playgrounds for children und multiple picnic fields. In addition, a high class restaurant and event space next to the serene lake. Bike friendly and lots of different paths to walk along. Connects to Tiergarten, Kleefeld and Kirchrode.
At the moment there is a small art installation made funded by a lady who wants to raise awareness of dementia. Beautiful wicker structures."
