The Bismarck Tower is a beautiful landmark, but unfortunately it's not open to the public. The tower has been undergoing renovations for quite some time. There's a park surrounding it with a lovely children's playground.

This is a great place to get to the water and enjoy a beautiful view of the dam :) The bridge and access roads are currently being rebuilt, which is why there's a large construction site there at the moment.

This "power spot" is located at the edge of the spa gardens. Small seating areas and a few stones are arranged in a circle around it. Everyone is welcome to try it out and see if it's good for them. Here, one can find peace, recharge, and recharge with strengthening earth energy.
