The lake belongs to the large area of the 🏰garten, which was laid out in 1921. It was probably an element of the cypress lake, landscape garden.The cypress comes from the original North America, occurs in swamps (becomes up to 35 m high; up to 700 years old). The bald cypress is around 100 years old, around 23 m high and around 2 m in circumference, and budding begins very late in June. The needles are initially fresh green, later they darken significantly. The needles are thrown off at the end of October and then have a fox-red or dark brown autumn color. The "knee or breath roots" are typical.A hiking trail leads around the cypress lake.
