      Very worthwhile to take a walk around the garden. Archimedes' screw, limestone grasslands, bee hotel, ... Nice to discover.
      The name 'The Helix' refers to the structure of the DNA, the carrier of the hereditary information in all living beings. The symbol of the center is therefore the blue spiral or helix that you see at the parking lot.
