Maribor - City Park 

City Park in Maribor is a place of peace and relaxation after the city hustle and bustle. It is situated north of the town centre. The design of the park has a medieval basis. In the year 1879 the City Park was finally reformed and split into several parts, which are City Park, Calvary, Three ponds and Pyramid Hill. Despite later changes the City Park preserved the quality of the original historical design in the landscape style.

Today in the park grows about 100 species of domestic and foreign deciduous trees and many coniferous trees. In 1998, at the 100th anniversary of the Olympic champion Leon Strukelj was planted 100 new trees. In the park was in different periods raised some monuments of which are now preserved only two.
