Playground is quite nice and there is something for the little ones as well as for the big ones. In summer, the sandbox is covered with a sun sail. However, the water on the water playground was always turned off when we were there last summer. Toilets are also available, albeit in poor condition

A small complex that you should definitely look at. Particularly interesting with small children because there is a nice playground right next to it.

The ruins of Bucherbach Castle and the foundation walls and a well-preserved wall section and part of the corner towers of the small castle complex are well preserved and are a great backdrop for e.g. B. Wedding photos. The beautifully designed children's playground behind it is well attended and offers the little visitors a great change.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
