The natural monument covers 3 hectares. The bizarre two- to three-meter-high sandstone cliffs made of hardened glass sand provide an ideal picnic spot. They are reminiscent of the rock formations in Saxon Switzerland. The fine quartz sand has been mined in the area since the 19th century and used to produce colorless glass.

This includes a 65-ton boulder from the Welzow opencast mine and a trail of stones that runs through the eastern part of the park, in which boulder elements from the surrounding opencast mines are intended to make Rindt's life path understandable. This trail ends at a seating area near the bank, in the wall of which three bronze plaques with Otto Rindt's depictions of the development of the Senftenberg lake district from a bird's eye view were once embedded. https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/BKM-32002038
