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!

Flanking the palace on three sides, the majestic gardens called Blühendes Barock are worth a visit in their own right.

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.
