Very beautiful. A hint of what Darmstadt looked like before the war. Don’t miss Osthang - a great place for a drink

Rosenhöhe
I love to stroll here. It’s quiet and unpretentious yet lovely
The tower is under renovation but the view is fantastic a clear day. Under normal circumstances one can have a bite or a drink too.

A queer café with really nice personel, on a lovely square. They host many events, like women's breakfast etc. Avoid the pancakes, but the rest of the food has been good.

Recreation
Perfect for a run or a walk!
I'm not recommending the Hunting Club in itself but the green area it's situated in. And especially the viewing point just behind the Club. This area was used as a "dump" when they were desperately trying to clean up the town from all destroyed buildings after the second world war. The hill where the viewing point is is probably made up of old buildings... But I don't know for sure.
