This is a pedestrian bridge, but wide "sliding lanes" for bicycles and strollers have been added later, no problem at all.

Great corner to let off steam. Everything is on one level and many small paths wind through the forest in the corner.

A beautiful nature reserve, but unfortunately often crowded on weekends.

The neoclassical portico in Braunschweig's Bürgerpark immediately catches the eye. Six Doric columns support a triangular pediment. Designed by Peter Joseph Krahe and erected in 1806, the columned porch once served as the facade of the Augustus Gate. After the former main guardhouse was dismantled, the portico was moved here in 1896. Today, one can enjoy the tranquility of the park from its steps.
