Whether you want to experience nature, visit an event or just want to take a break from everyday worries – you are always welcome! The Grugapark Essen developed from the Great Ruhr Landscape Gardening Exhibition in 1929 and now, with its 700,000 square metres, is definitely one of the largest and most attractive leisure parks in Europe.
