The recreation park includes a 7-hectare swimming lake, the Huntetal campsite, and an open-air stage. The planning and implementation were carried out by the Mumm engineering and architectural firm from Wildeshausen. The Hartensbergsee recreation park was opened in the summer of 1980 by then-Minister-President Ernst Albrecht. In the spring of 2007, the park was fenced off by the Goldenstedt Visitor and Tourist Association, despite widespread support for a petition. Since then, admission has been charged on "summer days." The focal point of the recreation park is the lake. Approximately half of the lake is surrounded by a sandy beach. The lake is particularly popular with day trippers during the summer months. The lake is surrounded by tall trees and has large lawns. The HIZ (Hunte Information Center) has been located at Hartensbergsee since 2005. This exhibition building provides visitors with an overview of the Hunte River. It provides comprehensive information about the river's history as well as its flora and fauna. Many exhibits allow visitors to gain an insight into the river and its ecosystem.

When the heather is in bloom, it's a beautiful landscape, but it's also always charming at other times.
