Around is a small animal park or zoo. Anyone who still has time and inclination should visit it.

Can I recommend the Bf? Definitely not: the train is regularly delayed, there are no toilets, on Sundays even the neighboring REWE is not open, so you can't even buy something to drink, because of course there is no drinks machine either. I don't even dare to dream of a drinking fountain.
