Leisure in South Hesse

Darmstadt, the city of science, is also a regional centre of business and culture that has a wealth of highlights to offer: stroll through the pedestrian area, relax in the art nouveau pool, visit the fabulous building designed by HundertwasserHaus in the Bürgerpark quarter and explore the city’s trademark – the Mathildenhöhe! Two inner city natural lakes for swimming are a great attraction in summer as are also the Herrngarten park and the botanical garden. The Grube Messel not far from Darmstadt is renowned for its finds of fossilised prehistoric animal remains. Sport enthusiasts favour the facilities at the Steinbrückerteich leisure centre that includes rowing boats, mini gold, and pony rides. There’s definitely a wide range of things to do.
