A beautifully landscaped park with a variety of roses and other plants. There are many benches inviting you to linger, a fountain in the back, and two sculptures commemorating the suffering. Hersbruck was a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp. The concentration camp memorial is located directly behind the rose garden on Badstraße.

Here at the Sittenbach you have a great view over to the Michelsberg and the spot is also on the Fuchsauweg, a hiking trail for families with children.
