    Start your trip with the Klenze Park which is situated in the heart of Ingolstadt. This place is the epitome of what a park should be. The plethora of walking trails that wild through the immaculately maintained gardens and rolling hills. There is an array of native flora and fauna that call this area home and while you walk around notice that there is an abundance of interesting information scattered around the park.
    One of my favorite things about this park is the amount of art that is on display here, from the amazing water features and statues that set the scene with the dancing water backdrop. There is also a huge amount of sculptures, carvings, and physical artworks that display some of the finest local talents.
