A trip to the Kleistpark is fun for the whole family. There is also a botanical garden not far from Kleistpark.
We then continue to the Lennépark right in the city center. The park is the second oldest public park in Germany and was built in the English style. During your stay in Hotel City Residence Frankfurt-Oder you can relax here between artificial waterfalls, ponds and playgrounds. Incidentally, the Lienaupark is located north-west of the Lennépark.
If you prefer to be on the water, you can take a break during a walk or bike ride at the Ziegenwerder. The Ziegenwerder is a river island in the Oder with a park. Along the Oder you can also stroll along the Oder Promenade, which has been nicely designed with trees, playgrounds and works of art. From the Kleisthaus it goes along the Oder to the winter port.
One of the most worth seeing places in the city is the Frankfurt city forest with the rose garden. There is also a wildlife park at the entrance to the city forest, where deer and goats live, among other things.
