The park was redesigned as part of the 'Lippe-auen' flood control and landscape revitalization project.
It connects directly to the historical city moat system of Lippstadt.
The park incorporates sections of the 'Lippeauen' nature reserve area.
The river Lippe provides an essential habitat for local beaver populations, which are occasionally spotted near the park banks.
Grüner Winkel is a landscaped riverside park situated along the Lippe river in the heart of Lippstadt. The park serves as a central green lung for the city, connecting the historic town center with natural river meadows. It features a network of paved and natural walking paths suitable for pedestrians and cyclists. The park hosts a dedicated cafe that offers terrace seating overlooking the water. Visitors can observe local river wildlife and riparian vegetation throughout the year. It serves as a primary access point for recreational water activities along the Lippe.
The bridge crossing the Lippe provides a panoramic view of the park's greenery and the river flow.
Bring comfortable walking shoes to traverse both paved paths and natural meadow trails.
Visit the riverside cafe during late afternoon to catch the sunset across the water.
Check local event calendars as the park periodically hosts open-air community gatherings.
Do not leave food waste near the riverbank to protect local wildlife; stay on marked paths during wet conditions to avoid muddy, unmaintained areas.
