Great place to make astronomical observations.
If you don't bring a car or take the jungle road you'll have to walk around 20-30 minutes to reach there. However it has a great view on the sky and the city.
The staff are friendly and helpful. There are several different telescopes that you can use. But I would suggest you bring your own telescope/binoculars, specially when there is an open event. As it will be really crowded then.
Really interesting place for those interested in autonomy, the solar system or space expirati exploration in general. I went on the open evening and was treated to beautiful views of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. How amazing to see Saturn's rings with your own eyes!
Very nice place. Awesome view of Darmstadt and Frankfurt
