Spend a lush day strolling around the network of parks just south-west of the city’s inner core. Beginning just behind the Neues Rathaus and sprawling out towards the leafy Plagwitz district, the Johanna Park and the Clara Zetkin Park (into which the Johanna merges) are filled with gardens, woodlands, lakes, Japanese-style bridges, inquisitive red squirrels, and eventually a full-blown river (Weisse Elster).
