Nature-oriented playground inaugurated
Slide, rope, tree house, willow tipi and a pump with watercourse are part of the new nature-oriented playground inaugurated on the occasion of the 6th celebration of "Spass uff de Wiss" ("Having fun on the meadow") on July 11, 2004. The playground on the area of the children’s hospital offers many opportunities for adventure and, of course, for getting to know nature.
The playground was planned by the Klingenmünster engineering office Stadt und Natur, ("City and Nature").
