Beautiful "park" in the middle of a hectic part of the city. Easy to reach from the Alsterkrug…read moreHotel, where we stayed. Not much traffic we met 5 people on a sunny August Monday afternoon, but be aware of the sometimes speeding cyclists ;-) !! You can walk around the lake and the "Moor" easily in an hour, or spent much more if you follow each and every trail.

I should mention that it's not suitable for roadbikes - a mountain bike would be best. The woodland here was actually more fun to cycle around than that in the nearby Niendorfer Gehege forest, and there are some reasonably sized hills. Almost part of the park is the Dahliengarten which is incredibly well cared for, and I assume from walking around it has probably the biggest collection of Dahlia flower species in the world. Also just on the edge of the park is the Hauptfriedhof Altona (main Altona cemetery), which is also nice to walk around.

It's a lonely place to walk around and it seems they also use this as a wedding location in town. If you are in the botanical gardens of Hamburg you will see this place as you walk around. A lovely place to visit when in town.
