Rosenfelspark, Public park in Lörrach, Germany.
Rosenfelspark is a green space covering roughly 2.4 hectares (6 acres) southeast of the town center, with mature trees, animal enclosures, and a music pavilion. Winding paths lead through the park past open meadows and densely planted sections.
The Koechlin family created a private English-style garden here starting in 1830, later adding a menagerie. The town took over the grounds in 1943 and turned them into a public park.
The grounds take their name from the Rosenfels, a distinctive red sandstone outcrop that rises within the space. Local residents use the lawns for picnics and gather at the pavilion where open-air concerts take place regularly.
Several entrances give access to the grounds, which spread across different levels on a hillside. Sturdy footwear is recommended as some paths include steep sections.
Railway tunnels from a bygone era run beneath the grounds, though they are no longer accessible. The red sandstone walls in the park show clear weathering marks and provide a habitat for rare lichen species.
