LONELY PARK
Read moreBefore or after your visit to the Tinguely Museum, a very pleasant stroll is required in this park where it makes good sense to rejuvenate under the centenary trees overlooking the banks of the Rhine. The bravest will find a small staircase and the summer will be thrown into the Rhine to be drifted slowly to the Rheinbrücke or beyond. Don't forget your shirt and your little backpack (the Wieckelfisch) that will serve as a float and in which you will dry your clothes dry (for sale at the OT Basel).
