Guided Story
Can you feel the gentle breeze rustling through the ancient trees? It's like the park's whispering its secrets from centuries past. Take a look around; the sprawling meadows are perfect for a moment of peace. Look up, and you might spot a buzzard gliding through the sky – they're a common sight here. Behind you, slightly hidden, is the Jenisch House, once a wealthy merchant's summer retreat. Just a short walk away is the River Elbe, its scent mingling with the blossoms in spring. Take a deep breath and let the tranquility sink in before you wander further along the winding paths.
