At one corner… we saw gardener aggressively removing the plants…They said spring is ending and its time to make ways for the summer plants.

According to the site map, this is called the Labyrinth. I called this The Green Wall.

Based on a friends’ recommendation… we make a dinner reservation at Arstiderna I Kocksha Huset.

The restaurant was located underground, with very old European arched ceiling design.
