The oak tree and bench are a landmark. Coming from the direction of Oederan, one looks back south towards the Ore Mountains panorama after having conquered the ascent through the Oederan municipal forest.

A roughly 6 km long route leads from the city park, behind the "Little Ore Mountains" miniature park, through the city forest, and ends in the heart of the city at the "Family and Adventure Worlds." This themed trail connects the various areas and design elements of an Ewilpa® (Edible Wild Plant Park): • Wet meadow • Orchard with hedgerow • Mixed coniferous and deciduous forest • Walnut grove • Wetland biotope • Wild fruit hedgerow and berry garden https://www.ewilpa.net/oederan.html

November 19, 2025, Richard Wagner Memorial

The Richard Wagner Monument was dedicated on May 19, 1935. The memorial stone stands in the park at the Little Ore Mountains on Minna-Planer-Weg. The monument consists of three roughly hewn boulders of mica schist. A bronze relief with a portrait bust of Richard Wagner is affixed to the central stone. The side stones bear two bronze inscription plaques. https://stadttour-oederan.de/de/Attraktion/Richard-Wagner-Denkmal-367

Farm Life with Petting Zoo and Adventure Playground On our small farm, you can observe alpacas, sheep, and goats, as well as wallabies and rheas. The goats also enjoy being petted in a specially designed petting zoo. We kindly ask that you do not feed the animals, as they are well cared for and additional feeding can lead to illness. Thank you. For children, a variety of play equipment invites them to romp and climb in the fresh air. Here, young and old alike can spend relaxing hours. https://www.goldener-stern.com/erleben/
