Why you should visit it
The nature here is beautiful, as are the fountains. When there's not a festival here, there's usually one at the ethnographic museum, which is directly above it - about a 30 minute walk through a forest. There are also several beer gardens throughout, and it's a terrific place for exercise.
Special tip
Most of the beergardens and cafes are on the eastern edge of the park.
