I drove past there on 30.8.25. I cross the Krückau Park on several tours, which I occasionally repeat. I am adding a picture showing the pond with water lilies.

The path through the rose garden is a nice extension of the route for my tours that lead through the Lieth city park. But the tunnel that runs under the main road is great. Today, March 10th, 2023 I saved the extra time because the sleet was very wet.

Good thing the bridge has orange stripes. In one direction, the path leads down and the orange stripes on the narrow bridge tell you to brake. That's good because the up and down is a bit bumpy.
