Overlooking the cherry blossoms, there's barely a nicer spot to enjoy breaks between classes. And even without in-class teaching at the moment, the lawn in front of the SUB offers a nice place to enjoy the first rays of sunshine this year.

...underneath the lights and with chilled background music, we've spent numerous nights here vividly, which will hopefully become possible again in the summer time (with safety measures).

If time is limited and wanderlust excruciatingly high, a trip to the deer park at the Kehr is always a nice activity for a Sunday afternoon...

At last: After every party night or study session at the LSG, the one thing that completes the day is a solid meal. Our tipp on the so-called "Dönermeile" (kebab mile): The special fries. But – we're not telling you where you'll get the best ones.
