There is an admittedly rather hidden viewing point. Access is via a staircase at the entrance to the lake from the radio station. From there, you can at least look through the fence at the mostly glassy lake.

The monastery garden, which previously served as a fruit and vegetable garden for the monastery tenant, was converted into a monastery park in 1965. Students from the Technical University of Hanover (Horticulture Faculty) took on the planning of the redesign as part of a competition. During a sculpture symposium in 1984, several sculptures were placed in the monastery park. Among them was a wooden figure of the patron saint of the Lamspringe monastery church, St. Dionysius. The park thus also serves as an "open-air museum". Skates must be taken off when walking through the park - the paths are not asphalted. However, there are passable footpaths along the adjacent streets. https://www.lamspringe.de/Touristinfo-Freizeit/Touristinfo-Freizeit/Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten/

Unfortunately the area is very shielded, a small viewing point would be nice here.

From here you can also watch the two black swans that have found a new home in Bad Gandersheim.
