The small lake is surrounded by lush greenery and offers lovely seating and peaceful nature experiences. Swimming is not permitted here, as it is a natural body of water with no designated swimming area.

Here, at the entrance to the free parking lot, the graduation tower can be seen from afar. The wonderful fresh air and the gentle rippling of the water invite you to relax. Those who can snag a seat or even a spot on one of the free chairs or loungers are lucky.

In this type of open-air inhalation facility, strong brine trickles over the reeds and enriches the surrounding air with salt. A "marine climate" with a healing effect on the respiratory tract. The facility, in which visitors can breathe healthy salty air, is around 30 meters long and over eight meters high. The inhalation facility on the site of the former State Garden Show is relatively short compared to other graduation towers, but the health benefits are fully present.
