Die Volksgartenfälle

Theodor-Heuss Park

Park

😠 The park has one small lake with fountain. Actually quite nicely laid out. Unfortunately, it's also a junkie park. You can also recognize it from the boxes in which you can dispose of used syringes. So a park where I wouldn't advise a woman to go for a walk alone late at night.
