An absolute must-see place. A historical location, the former airport where Hitler had the million-man march, also the same place where the Americans flew in rations everyday for millions of people affected by the Eastern-embargo. Rent a bike a go ride around. It's a great place to hang out, bbq, basketball, bike, running, people watching etc.
