The park is a central component of the 'Edible City' (Essbare Stadt) project, where city-managed flower beds are replaced with vegetables and herbs for residents to pick.
The Runder Turm, located at the park’s north end, features walls 5.3 meters thick, dating back to the 15th century.
The Andernach Geyser, the world's tallest cold-water geyser, is accessed from the park's river port area.
The park serves as a historical flood protection buffer for the lower-lying districts of Andernach.
Archaeological finds from the Roman period have been discovered in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine bank bordering the park.
The Rheinanlagen in Andernach is a historic promenade stretching along the left bank of the Rhine, connecting the town center to the riverfront. It features extensive green spaces, mature tree alleys, and paved paths designed for pedestrian recreation. The park serves as the primary gateway to the Andernach Geyser, which is accessible via a visitor center located within the park grounds. Key features include the historic 'Round Tower' (Runder Turm) at the park's edge and integrated remnants of the medieval town wall. The area is maintained as part of the town’s 'Edible City' concept, where public flower beds are often supplemented with fruit and vegetable plantings for public harvest. It hosts several outdoor sculptures and memorial monuments along the river path. The park provides unobstructed views of the Rhine, serving as a transit point for river cruise passengers docking in Andernach. It is fully accessible and lacks perimeter gates, allowing for continuous flow between the urban core and the waterfront.
