A man from Vienna had to pay a 105 EUR because he and his son were picking two flowers in the Viennese Resselpark: a dandelion and a tulip. Probably the most expensive flowers in their life.
Policemen were going for a walk through the park and saw the outrageous act. They showed no mercy for the two lovers of nice flowers. The father had to pay 105 EUR, otherwise he had to go to prison for 18 hours.
The father decided to pay.
There is a law for the protection of the parks in Vienna. 700 EUR fine are possible. Having a picnic or picking flowers in the parks of Vienna can be expensive.
