About

Quick facts: Spanning 96 hectares, this park ranks as one of the largest natural parks in Eastern Europe. Within its grounds lies a charming suspension bridge that sways gently over a serene lake filled with swans.

Highlights: Visitors can discover a small zoo featuring native and exotic animals right inside the park’s lush landscape. A secret to note: climbing to the top of the artificial hill offers panoramic views of the entire park’s meticulous layout and surrounding cityscape.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable walking shoes to explore the extensive pathways easily.
Capture photos from the top of the park’s artificial hill at sunset for stunning light.
Avoid weekends for the quietest experience, especially early in the day.
Head to the small zoo early to catch animal feeding times and avoid peak visitors.
