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.
