An entertaining tour of a former landscape park that was created by the Hessian Minister of State Martin Ernst von Schlieffen around 250 years ago. Today mainly beech forest with recognizable relics of the past. From the devil's bridge to the monkey house. Information boards tell the stories.

Formerly laid out by Martin Ernst von Schlieffen, now a forest, in which many structural relics of the former park cannot be discovered. Well explained on boards.
