The landscape park is elaborately and lovingly designed. There is something for all ages to experience here: from a sandpit and playground for the little ones to a football pitch and skate park to a sunbathing area, boules pitch and fitness equipment, everything is there to have a good time. I found the nutrias particularly funny – not to be confused with muskrats.

The old slider house is a technical monument on the shore of Lake Hertha. The lake was built in 1846 to supply water to the Holzappel pit near Dörnberg-Hütte. Today there is a small park and a swimming pool on the shore.
