For me a small highlight, a bit technical and mostly slightly downhill - it runs well! I always try to include it there.

The neoclassical portico in Braunschweig's Bürgerpark immediately catches the eye. Six Doric columns support a triangular pediment. Designed by Peter Joseph Krahe and erected in 1806, the columned porch once served as the facade of the Augustus Gate. After the former main guardhouse was dismantled, the portico was moved here in 1896. Today, one can enjoy the tranquility of the park from its steps.

The South Sea in Braunschweig is always worth a visit. You can also refresh yourself with a cold drink at the sailing club.
