Guided Story
Can you hear the rustle of leaves above you? These old trees have stories to tell that date back to the early 20th century. Behind you, in the distance, stands the Kiebitzmühle, a silent witness to days gone by. As you walk further, keep an eye out for the little details that make this park unique. You might spot a squirrel darting up a tree. In spring, when everything is in bloom, it’s a paradise for the senses. Take a deep breath and enjoy the blend of nature and history that you can feel here. Sit on one of the benches and let the surroundings soak in.
