A park like a Baroque garden

Unlike the gently curving Vorgebirgspark, the Blücherpark is strictly symmetrical and recalls the garden designs of the Baroque era. A grand central axis links a polygonal water basin with a fountain, broad lawns and avenues lined with plane and lime trees. The many concrete spheres at the path junctions are striking. A large play lawn and the pond make the park a popular destination for families and anyone seeking relaxation.
