When all federal states have school holidays, people come together in one place like this. What do you learn in one day in one of the most visited leisure parks about Germany?
On Monday morning, August 3rd, a group of residents hailing from all sixteen German states decided to visit Phantasialand, the most visited amusement park in Germany, located in Brühl near Cologne. This park, known for its crowded conditions, sees an average of over two million visitors each year.
