About
Quick facts: An abandoned railway of nearly 2.3 kilometers has been transformed into a park attracting 5 million visitors annually. Along the path, wild flowers and plants grow that once sprouted naturally between the rails.
Highlights: Along the route, more than 500 different plant species can be found, all chosen to reflect the natural growth that once occurred here. Enjoy views over the city from elevated platforms, with old railway tracks serving as artistic benches.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the path is long and partly covered with small stones.
- The best photos are taken from the southern part at sunset.
- Avoid weekend afternoons to steer clear of crowds, especially in the summer and autumn seasons.
- Start your walk at the Whitney Museum to discover more art right away.
