In the northern part of town is a fortress that is still in use for military purposes, so you can’t enter it, but all around it is a huge park with canals running along it. There are areas for playing sports, kayaking, running, biking and even small hikes. There’s also a zoo and a small amusement park within the park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was delicious!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
