The Deck of Love is inspired by a French tradition. The place serves as inspiration for couples in love and has a place where lovebirds can put a padlock with the couple's name on it. As in Paris, the lovers throw away the padlock keys, in this case, at Lake Vitoria Regia. The act, according to tradition, symbolizes that lovers will be together forever.
In addition to the photogenic landscape, with nature and beautiful chalets, the Van Gogh Park also pays tribute to the artist with replicas of paintings by the Dutch painter. Art exhibitions and cultural events are also part of the cultural space program.
The windmill is the city's postcard and receives many tourists all year round. It's an exact copy of the famous and traditional Dutch windmills. It works just like in Netherlands by the force of the winds and grinding grains. The Mill has 10 floors, 7 of which are open to visitors. It is 38 meters high.
