Paddleboats

Today was a wonderful warm summer day, so some friends and I decided to have a picnic in the French-German garden that is at the border to France.
The garden has 50 hectare, in it there are huge lawns for sunbathing, lots of flowerbeds, restaurants, mini golf, Gulliver's world with 66 miniature buildings from all over the world... oh, and a casino. Plus this wonderful lake with 3 fountains in it, where you can rent paddleboats to take a little ride.
It's really bautiful and I highly recommend this park to everybody who comes to visit our town.

looks like a great racing possibility =) Do both persons paddle the boat or just one? I would be curious as to what would happen if you ride over the water fountain!

It's a water fountain, yeah. You can't go over it, unfortunately, but on a hot summer day it's great to pass it, you'll always get a nice cool spray. =)

Your forget to tell aboutr the "Wasser-Orgel", every Hour there is a show with some fountains and orchestral music.
I love the "deutsch-französischer Garten" or "Jardin Franco Allemande". That are the correcht names of this site ;)...
