Rosental is a huge park in Leipzig. It has two different sections, a huge lawn near the zoo, which is a decent place for picnic and it also has probably the best dog park in town. The other part, which is a bit further from the city center, is dense forest, where it's hard to believe you're still in the middle of a city. It has a great viewing platform in the middle of the woods, with breathtaking views on Leipzig and its surrounding area. There's no entrance fee, but unfortunately it means sometimes it's packed with drunk teenagers. It's a bit hard to get there, since there's no trams or busses nearby, and you will probably need a cell phone with gps. It's not amongst the most important sights in Leipzig, but if you have a few days in town or if you're a local, it definitely worth a visit. read more
