What is there to see in Bavariapark?
The paths wind between mature trees and open lawn. Look for the reclining spring nymph, the resting faun and the bronze deer. There is a children’s playground if you’re bringing the family. King Ludwig I had the park laid out from 1826 to 1831 as the Theresienhain. The park took its current name after the Bavaria statue and Hall of Fame were built. It opened to the public in 1872.
