    Stopped here to stretch our legs, and enjoyed the nice lunch and coffee at the cafe. Great food!

    Really lovely short walk around the lake. Lots of colours in the winter garden, but not much variety. The aviary was really really sad, and many birds did not look healthy. I don't understand why they are feeding them bread, it's so bad for the birds.

    Really nice location. We went around the lake. It was awesome. They're lots of varied ducks and you can buy healthy duck food in the cafe (1,50$). It's worth to see, if you like ducks and other birds. They're many babies in the moment. ?
