A beautifully landscaped park where young and old meet. A suitable place for many a photo shoot. The "Planettenweg Hellmonsödt" also leads through here. A coffee house is now nearing completion in March 2023. In the photo from September 2023 it has already been in operation since summer. http://www.landundliebe.at/ Opposite the coffee house entrance there is a clean public toilet in the Hellmonsödt district senior citizens' home. You can refill your DRINKING WATER here!!!

In forest pools, the evaporation rate is lower than in meadow pools due to the shady canopy of trees. The water temperature is also lower and therefore higher oxygen saturation is possible. Overall, the water temperature here fluctuates less than in other pond waters.
