Not far from the market, you'll find a small and well-maintained water landscape with a pond and a moat. Pretty and idyllic.

Unfortunately, the facility has aged a bit and the exhibition is no longer didactically modern. Some exhibits are defective, pictures are faded, and the aquarium panes are mossy. A barrier made of construction fence elements has been standing at the tower for more than 2 years. The content is interesting, but more could be made of it.
