Traveler reviews
Tatiana Yakovleva
★★★★★4 years agoLandiwiese is a great place for all sorts of occasions. There are so many different events happening throughout the year, it's hard not to find something that interests you. It's a great place for a day out with friends, the theater festival in summer is always great, and I can't say enough about the barbecues and picnics! The place is beautiful and spacious, so you always have plenty of room for everyone.
