Traveler reviews
Shuvrodev Biswas
★★★★★5 years agoA huge place to breathe. Calm and quiet. You can spend hours to feel the nature, and relax. For daily walk this is one of the best place in Dresden. There were several squirrels to give company! Lovely experience though.
Reza Kazempour
★★★★★3 years agoEnjoy walking in peace and out of crowd, very close to city center but in meantime it looks such a private walk road through tall and beautiful trees
