What catches the eye are the horse sculptures, which are reminiscent of the Emscherbrucher Dickköppe - the wild horses were once native to the Emscher and still adorn the coat of arms of the city of Herne. A horse figure stands at the Schellenbruchgraben in Herten. Five more “horses” stand between Pöppinghauser Ford and Bladenhorster Straße in Castrop-Rauxel.

Really pretty with the blue horses. Lots of benches and tables, very well maintained. Even a larger group can have an idyllic picnic here
