ドルナッハの湖・トップ17

Stop and read up on the Hydro power plant

Superbly laid out

Very beautiful area and nature reserve.

The Park im Grünen is a popular recreational area on the outskirts of the city. Asphalted paths invite you to walk, skate and cycle, but there are also sports fields and playgrounds and beautiful green spaces. The park, formerly known as Grün 80, once served as the summer residence of the Basel philanthropist Christoph Merian. Today the garden is a popular destination and has a pond, a mini golf course, a cafeteria, a restaurant, a playground and a small shop. https://www.basel.com/de/attraktionen/park-im-gruenen-dbfe1e396b

緑の中の公園は、街の端にある人気のレクリエーションエリアです。舗装された道は散歩、スケート、サイクリングに最適ですが、スポーツや遊び場、美しい緑地もあります。 以前はGrün 80として知られていたこの公園は、かつてバーゼルの慈善家クリストフ・メリアンが夏の住居として使用していました。今日、この庭園は人気の観光地となっており、池、ミニゴルフコース、カフェテリア、レストラン、遊び場、小さなお店があります。 https://www.basel.com/de/attraktionen/park-im-gruenen-dbfe1e396b

Between the oak grove and Wildenstein Castle, the castle pond lies somewhat hidden and inaccessible behind a dense thicket. It's an idyllic spot that deserves protection. There's no path to its shore, and that's a good thing, because countless animal species make their home here and appreciate being left in peace. And let's be honest. Would we really like it if every Tom, Dick, and Harry descended on us uninvited, made a lot of noise, and perhaps even left behind a mess? At least there's this: For hikers and walkers, there are two lovely park benches right by the path by the pond, inviting you to linger.

The Ermitage is a large and lovingly designed green area from 1785, with three idyllic ponds, several romantic grottos, historical buildings, pretty walking paths between the shore and the edge of the forest and, on top of it all, the castle ruins of Bierseck Castle, as the crowning glory of the whole. It is a wonderful place for physical and mental relaxation, but those seeking peace and quiet should visit outside of the holidays or weekends. It is a real visitor magnet. Warning! The grottos can only be reached on foot and via steep stairs. The rest of the garden is mostly wheelchair accessible and suitable for pushchairs. There are no parking spaces directly at the Ermitage! Free entry!

A princess pond through and through. If you are very quiet, you can hear the lovely ladies laughing ;-)
