Experience the summer Leipzig

#The Jimmy Orpheus can be found in the west of Leipzig, more precisely in the Schleußig district. A cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee, and savory and sweet snacks invite you to linger. ☕️ It's a great place to work or spend a few relaxing hours with a good book. Great atmosphere!

The Mariannenpark offers besides the huge lawn also flower plantings including park bench, a shady roundel of trees for particularly hot summer days and a rose garden. In addition, since this year: a drinking water dispenser 😁 In addition to 2 playgrounds, you can also daddle here at 2 table tennis tables 🏓 the Perfect place in Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf for a full-blown day of doing nothing 😌

The Barfußgässchen is a very famous pub mile in Leipzig. It is also called "Drallewatsch", which means "experience something" - and you can definitely do that here. Because bars, cafes and restaurants are just lined up here. The Gässchen is one of the streets in the center of Leipzig, which are built very narrow and therefore it is always super lively here and there is a lot of hustle and bustle.

The steps on the banks of the Karl Heine Canal are considered an absolute hotspot for relaxation and enjoyment during the hot season. In the west of Leipzig, not far from St. Philip's Church, the stone steps overlook the water. The hustle and bustle and noise of the city are far away, so the steps are the perfect place to soak up some warm sun rays. In the summer, a number of Leipzigers from the adjacent neighborhood gather here to enjoy hours of sunshine and conversation together, to picnic, or to watch the passing gondolas, canoes, and boats.

Caffeine-wise the salvation of Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf! ☕️ From invigorating espresso, to caffè latte with homemade syrup, to homemade and almost exclusively vegan cakes and snacks. The outdoor seating directly on Stannebeinplatz is perfect for unwinding, every weekend TRAGO tempts you with delicious breakfasts and a neighborhood flea market is held here regularly. ON TOP the walls in the café are designed by the great illustrator Slinga!

A varied program for young and old awaits you at the Wildpark Leipzig. Explore the extensive area and meet the native wild animal species on your tour. Discover the fascinating world of lynxes, otters, minks and eagle owls. Marvel at the impressive bison and sika deer. Afterwards, children can let off steam in the forest playground. The park also offers guided tours, excursions and hiking days to impart knowledge about endangered species and promote their conservation....

An idyllic journey through the floodplain forest over the labyrinth of Leipzig's waters - directly from the boat rental in the Wildpark. Whether by canoe, Canadian canoe or a rowing boat, here you can enjoy all the beauty of these waterways. Thanks to the quiet location in the Auwald, the boathouse is an optimal destination to discover nature and waters via the waterways.

Ilses Erika - affectionately known as "Ilse" - in Connewitz is anything but boring and it's hard to imagine Leipzig without it for almost 20 years now. Here you get everything at once: dancing in the basement club and drinks at the bar, DJ sets and live music next door and comfortable sofas for short breathers. Once back upstairs, the Tanzcafé's beer garden is directly adjacent, which makes hot summer days and nights special and provides cooling.

One of the city's most famous landmarks commemorates the historic Battle of the Nations against Napoleon in the fall of 1813. It was the largest military conflict of all time up to that point. It finally ended the supremacy of the French Emperor Napoleon, who had previously dominated large parts of Europe. Today, after climbing 364 steps, you can enjoy a phenomenal panoramic view of Leipzig and the surrounding area, or get further spectacular insights into the events of the wars of liberation and their climax, the war-deciding Battle of the Nations near Leipzig, in the integrated museum "FORUM 1813".

The Botanical Garden of the University of Leipzig is the ideal place to discover the fascinating diversity of the plant world. On an area of about three hectares you will find plants from the most diverse vegetation zones of the earth, distributed among the apothecary garden, the greenhouses, the scent and touch garden as well as the open space of the facility. A special highlight is the butterfly house, where you can experience butterflies in a natural environment and up close. With a history of over 400 years, the Botanical Garden in Leipzig is the oldest of its kind in Germany.

Then as now, it is considered a meeting place in the green, where Leipzig life can be enjoyed wonderfully. The Music Pavilion in Clara Zetkin Park was built as early as 1912 and was intended to entertain the people of Leipzig with outdoor orchestra concerts. With success: from the beginning, the concerts in the Music Pavilion were very popular and attracted up to 2000 visitors to the park on concert days. Over the years, the program and performers have changed again and again, but the event pavilion has never lost its popularity. Today, the historic white building is complemented by a restaurant with a beer garden and, in addition to the traditional music performances, is especially popular for watching sports events together.
