A pedestrian and cycle bridge spans the railway tracks, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely. From the footbridge, you also have a good view of the busy Regensburg main station. An ideal place to photograph trains.

Great place to watch / enjoy sunsets. Also highly recommended for train enthusiasts as they pass by here at very short intervals or go under the bridge.

That park visitors encounter such a wealth of plants is by no means a given. Until the early 2000s, most of Aubach Park was intensively farmed agricultural land. A considerable amount of work was required to restore the area to its current, near-natural floodplain landscape. "We deliberately avoided trying to create an artificial, idealized landscape. The goal was to replicate a development process as close to nature as possible," explains former head of the parks department, Dietrich Krätschell, describing the process by which the former farmland was transformed into a small paradise. This naturally includes establishing native plant communities. Therefore, the tree population consists primarily of willows, poplars, and ash trees – softwood species typical of floodplain landscapes. The presence of two young Chinese sequoias in the park is due to the landscape architect's design vision.

Anyone taking a stroll through the park on a quiet summer day will certainly not be bored. Accompanied by the chorus of crickets, they can observe deer grazing, listen to the croaking of frogs, or even watch beavers building their dams. In spring, the call of the cuckoo echoes through the park, and in the evening, with a bit of luck, one might even hear nightingales singing or observe bats on their silent flight through the night. Woodpeckers, orioles, blue tits, great tits, robins, and wood pigeons nest in trees or in the nesting boxes specially designed by the parks department to meet their needs. Grey herons and ducks have settled around the ponds, pheasants, partridges, and hares can be found in the meadows, and foxes in the wooded areas. Countless animal species, which would otherwise not find suitable living conditions in an urban environment, make their home in this wildly romantic and, above all, natural landscape.
