📖

Full description

Alter Nordfriedhof is a decommissioned cemetery in Maxvorstadt that now functions much like a quiet park. Old headstones covered in ivy sit beneath large trees, and squirrels are a constant presence.

Reviewers call it hauntingly beautiful and note how many joggers and photographers use the paths. It is free, open around the clock and suits a slow hour-long walk, particularly for solo visitors.

Some visitors mention that corners can attract drinkers and loiterers, so the experience varies with the time of day.

Reviews

At first it feels weird to walk around on a former cemetery. But the nature is beautiful: I particularly like the big trees and squirrels that you can see all the time. And with all the people running and kids playing, the cemetery atmosphere is totally gone. At the end, it is just a piece of nature in the big city.
