Unicorn at Mirabell Gardens
Near one of the entrances to the Mirabell Gardens (Mirabellgarten), I saw this sculpture of an unicorn. But this was not the only lively statue in this park of Salzburg City. So I also came across a sunbathing lion.
Tree top way in Tulln
After a walk through the Garten Tulln, I climbed up a tower (34,95 m) named Baumwipfelweg (tree top way). Though it was more a tower than a path, several protruding elements offered an exciting view of the surroundings.
Fodder meadow in Stuttgart
