Wieseckau Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

An easily navigable, but less busy bike path outside the city park, directly along the Wieseck. Sometimes you have a clear view of the Eichgärtenallee and in the end all the way to Rödgen.

Swan Pond, Giessen

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful pond, with an island in the middle that serves as a breeding ground for ducks and swans. Unfortunately, it is often very overgrown with algae in the summer.

Benches With a View of the Lake

The map point displayed is not the Schwanenteich, but the Stadtpark Wieseckaue. The swan pond lies between the Wieseck and parallel to the Eichgärtenallee.

New Palace and Armoury

Highlight • Castle

The new castle is located right next to the arsenal at the fire place, which got its name from a city fire. On Wednesdays and Saturdays you can stroll from there over the weekly market.
