Very good food. Huge portions. But I have very rarely experienced something like this: When paying, they said "we generally don't accept tips".

In good weather, you could simply lie down under one of the large trees and relax, or use one of the benches. The park is surrounded by the Schloßberg (on which stands Lobdeburg Castle), the Pfaffenberg (with the Georgstein rock formation on top), the Einsiedlerberg (with the AnnaStein rock formation), and to the south, the Lobeda housing estate. You can't see the Kernberg hill from here.

The approximately 3-hectare park in Jena-Drackendorf was laid out as an English landscape garden in the second half of the 19th century. Particularly striking features of Goethe Park are two giant oak trees, a copper beech, and a teahouse built within the grounds. The park was commissioned by Baron von Ziegesar, whose daughter was friends with Goethe. The plans for such a green space are said to have come from Goethe himself. https://www.visit-jena.de/aktiv-und-natur/gaerten-und-parks/drackendorfer-park-goethepark/

Remains of a Romanesque chapel were found at the site of the church. This is indicated by the remains of a Gothic window on the south side. Chancellor Marcus von Gerstenbergk had the church rebuilt in 1592. A late Gothic east choir was created. Dr. Johann Sebastian Beer, President of the Altenburg Consistory Council, commissioned additions at his own expense between 1653 and 1656. The late Gothic tower with an octagonal upper story was built on the west side. Above it rises the dome. The consecration took place on September 28, 1656. On the south side of the nave is an annex that served as the royal lodge. Starting in 1988, it housed the small organ, built and installed by the Nußbrücker company (Plau am See). https://drackendorf.de/2023/03/13-auferstehungskirche/
