Roesesches Hölzchen, Public park in Eisenach, Germany
Roesesches Hölzchen is a forested park in Eisenach stretching between the Old Cemetery to the north and the Zeisiggrund to the south. The terrain features a network of paths that run through terraced sections along the Metilstein slopes.
Merchant Christian Friedrich Roese acquired the land in 1787 from Eisenach's hunting grounds and started building terraced gardens. His design reflected innovative gardening concepts of that period.
The park was named after merchant Christian Friedrich Roese, who redesigned the land following contemporary garden principles. Visitors can still observe the thoughtful arrangement of paths and plantings that characterizes the area today.
The park is freely accessible and offers multiple paths of varying difficulty through the forested area. Be aware of the slopes and choose a route suitable for your fitness level.
In the 1830s the park served as a testing ground for forest cultivation with rare and exotic tree species. Some plantings from that era remain visible on the grounds today.
