This oldest park in the Wuppertal urban area is magnificent: up to ninety meters above the level of the Wupper, and only twenty minutes' walk from the center of Elberfeld. With a dense network of paths and extensive meadows, flower beds, monuments and a wide range of facilities, the Hardt attracts its visitors to the green heights. Part of the Hardt and its crown: the botanical garden.

The Hardthöhe with the botanical garden and the extremely attractive architecture of the orangery and the Luisenturm should be mentioned as worth seeing.
