Activities: We visited the Von-Velen-Anlage, a small open-air museum showing the colonization of the city area. We saw a historic lock and the evolution of the settlers' homes. We also took a boat trip on the canal
Highlights: The boat trip was a highlight, the kids liked being on the water. The museum itself was also interesting and showed how hard life was for the first settlers ✨
