★★★★★3 weeks agoA great place to sit, relax, and take a break. It's really close to everything, with lots of benches and picnic tables. The park is huge and has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the surroundings.

★★★★★7 months agoIn a word, mesmerising! After getting off the train, lovely path is taking you to the lake through the forest or city way. Both are amazing. Legend says it was named after Minna, a young woman whose tragic love story symbolizes eternal devotion. If so, it is the best choice and I would say that i did not want to leave this city! It happened to me once before i start living in Liberec, now this city. Definitely, you should visit!
