City hall courtyard garden

The small courtyard garden of city hall is a resting spot in the greenery with a few benches.

In spring, crocuses and Easter lilies are in full bloom. Shortly afterwards, you can enjoy the scent of the blossoms of the apple trees. This means that in autumn, you can pick a delicious apple there if you come at the right time.

This really is a hidden jewel amidst our city centre.
