In the midst of all trees in Volkspark Friedrichshain
there is one that stands out from the rest. Look a
little closer and you’ll find people have written their
biggest life wishes, or just slightly drunken and silly
ones, on pieces of paper & hung them from this
tree, hoping for them to come true! We wished for
a Frenchie and the ability to fly... What about you?
