Traveler reviews
Tomislav Zografski
★★★★★Edited a year agoVery nice playground on the outskirts of the forest. Lots of shade, tall trees and atractions for small and bigger children. Also there is a nice Grillplatz (bbq places) nearby, mini-golf course and a cafè to get basic drinks and snacks. Two large parkings for the cars makes it easy for people to come by car. There is also a water playground, a new one, that's great in summer. Only weak spot are the toilets, or the lack of proper ones - just Toi-toi right now. We hope to visit soon again!

★★★★★7 years agoReally nice playground. There is a mini golf, a small football field, some table tennis and some grill areas around. The place is quite big. In summer they also open a small water area with a slide. I would definitely recommend it, a nice afternoon with kids.
