On the other hand, at one of them, which is neither fenced off nor has a sign prohibiting us from looking at it, a guard came and told us something in German in an angry way that I didn't understand. I told him in German and in English that I couldn't undetstand it but he doesn't speak any other language. Why not presenting the inventions instead ... ? For parking, you must use the information on the website, because the GPS takes you to a prohibited road. I do not...
