Discover the beauty of Prince Pückler’s Park, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Let‘s start with a park that is known far beyond the borders of Germany and Poland: the German-Polish park in Bad Muskau. It was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2004 and is considered an outstanding example of English garden art in Europe, attracting over 400,000 visitors every year. Over a period of almost 30 years, Prince Pückler created a work of art with a grand chateau ensemble considering the geomorphological conditions – the curved relief, the Lake Nisa valley and a the mining-shaped landscape. An equally unique landscape experience is provided by the Brody castle park in the Polish part of the geopark. Over the last 15 years, restoration work has awoken these gardens from a deep slumber. Viewed from the village of Brody, the renovated castle and park ensemble takes on a very distinctive charm.
