Guided Story
Can you hear the whisper of the leaves above? That's the sound of centuries passing through this city forest. Look to your left, and you might spot one of the narrow trails winding through the Oberwald. Did you know this forest was once part of an imperial hunting ground? Back in the 14th century, it was a royal preserve, sprawling across the region. Imagine the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire wandering through these very trees. And now? It's your sanctuary, a place of stories and tranquility, just a stone's throw from the city's hustle and bustle.
