The egapark, a big park with gardens and an amusement park, is located in the south-west of Erfurt. It takes about 12 minutes on the tram to get here from the Old Town. On a sunny Tuesday morning, I headed over there to explore the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The area of the egapark is atop the Cyriaksberg (Cyriaks Mountain \u2013 265 meters high) where the old fortress and citadel once were.
\nAfter World War I the City of Erfurt purchased the land off the Prussian government. The city committed itself to keep the fortress and citadel under monument protection and to open the area for the general public. The plan was to establish a recreational area for the people that lived in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
