Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle sound of water flowing? That's the Wupper river wrapping around the island. You're standing in one of the oldest nature reserves in the area. Look around; do you see those ancient trees? Some of them have been here long before the reserve was established. Close your eyes for a moment, breathe in deeply, and you might catch the earthy scent of nature. If you're lucky, you might spot a kingfisher darting over the water. And up ahead, beyond the lush canopy, the island stretches on. It's a little paradise, right in the heart of the city.
