Nice piece of green in the city. Perhaps not the best park if you are looking for a quiet place as we can here the busy tramline, the train station and the road downhill. However, it is a nice park for those living nearby and it can still be well appreciated.
A lovely part of the city with a fantastic view of the city centre. Amazing depth can be found here between the landscape! 🙏 Early morning sun rises and late sunsets are a good one for this spot. 👌
Beautiful location for a monument to those that died of cholera in the city
The whole town can be seen from this top view.
Little quiet park where you can see the city. We go every new year to take photos
