About Josefwiese
The Josefwiese, beside the railway viaduct in Kreis 5, is a favourite with the neighbourhood: football, pétanque, table tennis and beach volleyball, picnics, barbecues and sunbathing on warm days, a playground and dancing water fountains for children, and a kiosk with salads, grills and cold drinks. Open all day; Im Viadukt’s arches are a few steps away.
