At the Fohlenwiese, near the duke's grave, the “foal house” stood on the highest point of the park. It belonged to the Altensteiner Gestüt, which was run by the dukes until 1848 and was furnished in an oriental style. Inside there were portraits of famous Arabian racehorses as well as sayings written in calligraphically appealing form in Arabic script. Today only the meadow and a sign remind of this place.

From here you have a beautiful view of the Pless and the Thuringian Rhön.

To the north of the hotel and the park administration, the Fohlenwiese stretches out to the source stream of the Luisenthal and, with its meadows and small trees, delimits the park area from the Windsberg forest to the north.
