Traveler reviews

    ★★★★★2 years ago

    Peaceful little park to visit. I especially enjoyed the big pine tree, which smelled amazing and gave some much-needed shade on a hot summer day!

    Am Bramberg, etwas versteckt zwischen einigen Wohnhäusern gelegen, befindet sich der Wettsteinpark. Nachdem 2018 einige bruchgefährdete Bäume entfernt werden musste, stehen heute zum Glück immer noch einige sehr imposante und eindrückliche Mammutbäume, welche mehrheitlich zwischen 100 und 120 Jahre alt sind, dort. Spazierwege und viel Grünfläche sorgen ebenfalls dafür, dass sich hier eine gemütliche Naturoase befindet.
