Hey,
after visiting Kevelaer we drove to Kleve. Fabi wanted to see the extensive gardens which greatly influenced European landscape designs.
Here some informations from wikipedia about it:
Quote: |
During the Thirty Years War the city had been under the control of the Dutch Republic, who in 1647 had given Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen administrative control over the city. He approved a renovation of the Schwanenburg in the baroque style and commissioned the construction of extensive gardens that greatly influenced European landscape designs of the 17th century. Significant amounts of his original plan for Kleve were realized and have been maintained to the present, a particularly beloved example of which being the Forstgarten. |
Right next to the gardens is a small zoo, we didn't went in, but we were able to see some animals from the outside.
Gardens
Zoo
After that we were all so tired, that we drove home again.
Love,
Adrian
