Out and about in the city centre
On this tour, the master gardener will tell you fascinating things about the gardens in the Hofgarten (court garden) and the Mariengärtlein (Mary’s garden) at the Schlosskirche, among other things.
In the blossoming Festival Park
This tour takes you through the nine-hectare Festival Park. At the end of the 1920s, the heart of the park was given its present form according to plans by landscape architect Gustav Allinger, and further extensions were added in the 1970s. All year round there are peaceful oases in which to relax, such as the rock garden, the new section of the park in the north-east or the romantically situated water lily pond.
After the tour: on to the Ecological-Botanical Garden
If you would like to immerse yourself even further in the world of flowers and plants after your tour with the master gardener, you can pay a visit to the Ecological-Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth.
After the tour, numerous other gardens and parks in and around Bayreuth offer places to unwind, go for a stroll and enjoy a change of scene for the whole family.
