Activities: We walked around the Gruga-Park. There are various pattern gardens, an accessible deer enclosure, bird aviaries, plant show houses, a barefoot path, a hedge labyrinth. We took pictures of the flower beds and listened to the history of the versatile flower at the listening station in the rose garden
Highlights: The boys had fun at the nature-oriented play stations. We learned a lot about everyday drugs in the coffee garden. We also took a look at Essen's Hundertwasserhaus. We wanted to spend the whole day there! ✨
