Fairytales come to life in a special area within the Ludwigsburg Palace Gardens.
Once upon a time
Germany is the land of fairy tales and the Fairytale Garden (Märchengarten) features over 40 lovingly recreated classics. See where Sleeping Beauty lives; watch as Rapunzel lets down her hair; warn Little Red Riding Hood about the wolf; ask the mirror on the wall who is “the fairest of them all?" The playground provides more fun. Extra special is a boat tour along the Märchenbach, the Fairytale Stream, past mysterious trees and through tunnels. Look out for characters from well-loved stories!

Accessibility
Most of the paths are smooth and suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. However, a few steep stretches are only possible in a wheelchair with assistance.
Elegance on a grandiose scale! “Now that’s what I call a palace!” First-time visitors are amazed by the sheer size: 452 rooms in 18 buildings. This is one of Europe’s largest original Baroque complexes.
