This isn't an old reef, but rather the remains of an artificially created "grotto." There used to be water features there to enhance the grotto feel.

Who needs a gym when there are options like this? 💪🏻 A great example of successful use of the old train platform🤗

The Nützenberg Park is located in the center of the Nützenberg Forest. The creation of the park structures was started in 1874 by the Elberfeld Beautification Association. Here, at the highest point of the Nützenberg, stands the Weyerbusch Tower, built in 1898. Opposite it is the park keeper's house, Haus Weyerbusch, from the same period of construction as the tower. A playground has been created around the Weyerbusch Tower, where a summer festival is held once a year. Next to the soccer field, there is a large gravel sports field to the north of the Nützenberg Park, which is known as Kaiserhöhe. The park and its large playground were also renovated and expanded as part of the 2006 Regionale, so that a high ropes course, an artificial turf soccer field and other climbing equipment are now available. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCtzenbergpark
