history

On the occasion of the state horticultural show in 2010, the then Goldsteinwald was developed into a community park, which since then has, among other things, an adventure forest playground for children around a fictional salt king (based on the Bad Nauheim brine springs ), as well as an area for open-air festivals and large lawns includes.

Even before the area was upgraded by converting it into a community park, the Am Goldstein development area with numerous apartments and a kindergarten was developing on the south-eastern edge of the park . Due to the high demand, the area has already been expanded twice.

Planet trail

Together with the opening of the State Garden Show in 2010, the planetary hiking trail was officially inaugurated. It begins in the immediate vicinity of the Goldstein Tower and extends from west to east on the Goldstein Park site with the sun ⊙ and the planets Mercury ⊙ , Venus ⊙ , Earth ⊙ , Mars ⊙ and Jupiter ⊙ . On a scale of 1: 2.8 billion, the route continues through Bad Nauheim via the train station with the Saturn ⊙ and through the Kurpark with the Uranus ⊙ and finally ends with the Neptune ⊙ and Pluto ⊙ on the Johannisberg at the Wetterau public observatory . The planetary hiking trail thus forms a connection between the other locations of the State Garden Show and also links other important monuments of the city such as the Sprudelhof or the war memorial at the foot of the Johannisberg. 50.370555555556 8.7536111111111 1521 50.370555555556 8.7533333333333 1521 50.370555555556 8.7530555555556 1521 50.370277777778 8.7527777777778 1521 50.370555555556 8.7530555555556 1521 50.373333333333 8.7505555555556 1521 50.367777777778 8.7652777777778 1521 50.367222222222 8.7386111111111 1521 50.365277777778 8.7333333333333 1521 50.365277777778 8.7166666666667 1521
