Tips & Advice

  • Come on a Friday or Saturday evening to hear the hunting horn concert and see the gardens and water features lit up.
  • Wear sturdy shoes, because the garden paths are covered with fine gravel and are not always even.
  • Leave the picnic at home, since picnics are not allowed in the grounds, and use the restaurant or cafeteria on site instead.
  • Keep dogs on a leash throughout your visit, as animals are welcome in the park only when they are kept on a lead.
  • Bring younger children for a donkey ride and a visit with Saint Nicholas, who is appearing at the market for the first time this year.
