INTERnationally renowned BOTANICAL GARDENS
Recognised by many as among the most beautiful gardens in the world, the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle extend all the way to Merano/Meran’s easternmost outskirts. In 2013, the pride of Merano was awarded the coveted International Garden of the Year Prize at the Toronto (Canada) Garden Tourism Conference.
Shaped like a amphitheatre centred around a large lily pond, the centrepiece of the Gardens is its 80 garden landscapes with plants from all over the world. Numerous ‘experience stations’, as well as ten art pavilions and a spectacular lookout platform are open to members of the public. These, a ‘Forbidden Garden’ and Botanical Underworld all combine to make the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle an exciting visitor experience for everyone in the family!
