What travellers say about Herford

5.0
It's an interesting lake, not too big. There are ducks in the lake. There is a paved trail around the lake, you can ride a bike or walk. It's not a long distance to walk around. This scenery is quite common in Germany. The advantage is that the park has free parking.
