Green oases in the city
City and nature often are quite close together in North Rhine-Westphalia. At times, some proper green oases can be found even right in the middle of bustling cities and large metropolises, beckoning to relax and unwind, to go for a walk, or to recline and observe animals or take pictures. Just let your mind wander – the closest green oasis often is merely a stone’s throw away.
