Train station from the past

Following an abandoned set of railway tracks in Görlitzer park, Dylan and I came across the Görlitzer Banhoff, the old railway terminus for the mainlink between the capital Cotbus in Brandenburg and Görlitz in Saxony. In 1951, the GDR closed the station to passenger trains. Today, the area and surroundings encompass a huge span of well used public space with an unbelievable laisser faire atmosphere. A superb place to relax, take a break and have Berlin's famous roast chicken dinner while watching the sun fall.
