Guided Story

Can you feel the gentle breeze rustling through the ancient trees? Imagine this place over a century ago, once part of the old city fortifications. Behind you, you can still see remnants of the fort, a piece of Prussian military history. Now, it’s a peaceful retreat where history whispers through the air. Look to your left, in springtime those cherry blossoms burst into bloom. Take a seat on one of the benches and picture the bustling activity that once filled these paths, with soldiers marching through. And if you close your eyes, you might just hear the echoes of the past mingling with the laughter of today’s visitors.
