Flying over the #Baldeneysee in #Essen towards the Villa Hügel, the mansion of the Family #Krupp.

The area of the Villa Hügel was way bigger and it has an interesting Story.
Today it houses a permanent exhibition about Krupp and changing exhibitions inside the main building.
The park around can be explored.
