My favorite place in Erlangen: the Burgberggarten with the figures of Heinrich Kirchner offers retreat and relaxation in the green but also a wonderful view of Erlangen and the surrounding area. There is a lot to discover - several paths meander over the (sometimes steep) slope, benches invite you to relax and the sculptures impress not only with their size, but also with their haunting symbolism.
