Bally Park surprises with its Aare landscape, stilt houses and its English-style park. In the park you will discover ponds and canals in a natural landscape, with pagodas and grottos. The miniaturized pile dwellings in the park are unique in Europe. The park is often visited by families. But those looking for peace and quiet will also find beautiful corners there.
