The Bismarck Oak on the outskirts of Oberkotzau was planted in 1895. The Bismarck Oak is a natural monument on Lake Untreusee. Under District Administrator Heinz Schulze, the Bismarck Oak was declared a nature reserve in October 1953. It invites walkers and cyclists to linger on their way to Lake Untreusee. The Oberkotzau Beautification Association installed a new sign on the oak in 2018.

The pirate playground at Untreusee is one of the largest and most popular playgrounds in Hof. The redesigned playground, featuring a pirate ship and adventure trail, reopened in May 2025. All little adventurers can climb, swing, hang from the ropes, and, of course, zip over the beach debris on the cable car.
