A wonderful city park located just one station from the central station, with a large lake, thousands of various trees, bushes, many artificial cascading waterfalls, spacious green lawns, as well as a large rose garden and light fountain. A separate charm of the park is a section with an incredibly beautiful Japanese garden. In general, this park, which is located in the very center of the city, makes you feel like you are in a forest far from civilization. And friendly squirrels and birds that literally go into your hands make walks in the park unforgettable.

Hagenbeck Tierpark is one of the largest zoos in Germany. It was opened at the beginning of the 20th century and is the first zoo in the world in which natural habitat conditions were recreated for its inhabitants. It is simply huge and extraordinarily beautiful, and hundreds of amazing animals make visiting it a real treat. Here you can see an extraordinary number of animals and birds from huge elephants, camels and polar bears, to small penguins, gophers and fluffy rabbits. In addition to this, the complex with the zoo has a tropical aquarium with unusually beautiful panoramic aquariums and, without changing, stunning representatives of the aquatic world.

A huge park with amazing plants and landscapes from which you never want to leave even if you spent the whole day there. The incredible variety of trees, bushes, flowers and herbs is simply stunning. Enormous areas for walking with numerous labyrinths of paths leading from one beautiful location to another, which you want to wander all your life. In addition to the park, you can also see palm trees and cacti, which would seem absolutely impossible for the sometimes harsh weather conditions of the city located in the northern part of central Europe.
