Loewenherz is a popular spot among the locals and train fans alike. Since its inception in 1982, train spotters gather at the platform to view (or spot) passenger and freight trains that pass through the city Bad Niedrigsrode.

The city planning office recently approved the construction of a new viewing platform on the original site. A wheelchair-friendly ramp will be constructed to allow access to the platform with a maximum gradient of 4.8%. This will allow the disabled person on wheelchair to climb the ramp unaided; according to DIN 18040-1/2, max. 6.0% when unaided.

During the 6-month construction period, the city will provide alternative, safe spot for the train enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite pasttime on the other side of the park.
