Jogging helps me to run off some of the calories I am permanently adding, but the essential effect is mental garbage collection. I clean off mental tasks, and five minutes into the walk, my mind is clean, empty, and ready for new ideas or train of thoughts.
my weekend jogging round trip
So on my beloved Englischer Garten jogging tour, I suddenly realized the beauty, size, facets and sheer size and could only compare it to the Central Park which is as I realized dwarfed by our wonderfull Englischer Garten in Munich.
Let’s compare the two: Englischer Garten vs. Central Park
| Size | 3,75km2 | 3,5km2 | 1:0 |
| Age | 1789 | 1873 | 2:0 |
| Highlights | Teehaus, Monopteros, Chinesischer Turm, Eisbach, Eisbachwelle(n), Rumfordhaus, several Biergärten and even a nude area | OK, I am probably biased, but I can’t figure anything comparable… 😇 | 3:0 |
| Ways | 78km | 93,5km | 3:1 |
| Main Lake | Kleinhesselhoher See (8,6ha) | The Reservoir (43ha) | 3:2 |
| Bridges | 100+ | not even mentioned | 4:2 |
| Highest point and view from there | 512m+31m+15m=558m Frauenkirche and Alps | 43m Skyscraper facades (from below) | 5:2 |
| Miscellaneous | you can have a beer without being arrested | I will not open this can of worms! | 6:2 |
…so, that is what I would call: on an overall rating, the Englischer Garten wipes the floor with the central park, right? 😉
…oh, and this is the way to the park…
