Monchengladbach 21/8/13

Unsurprisingly there are several sculptures in the town centre alluding to the former footballing glories -we couldn't help childishly posing the footballers! this is a very sleepy town with a large housing stock but few people about. Again plenty of green spaces and the best ice cream cafe I have ever been to.

As we were quite close to the German border we decided to take a trip into the fatherland. Sticking a pin in the map we decided on monchengladbach - a town famous for its football team that had some success in the 1970s.
