Pavilón od autora Ludwig Mies van der Rohe je zónou pokoja presne tak, ako to chcel architekt. Jednoduché,, dokonalé, nadčasové. Postavené z výborných materiálov. Premyslené do posledného detailu. 100 rokov stará architektúra, ktorá vždy bola a aj dnes je modernou. Pavilón sme navštívili mimo hlavnej sezóny (odporúčam) vďaka čomu sme tam boli sami. Toto musíte vidieť.
