Italy's most beautiful Garden at Merano, South Tyrol

 

The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, with its rich biodiversity of plants and unique fusion of art and nature, and the Touriseum, South Tyrol’s museum of Tourism, which is housed inside Trauttmansdorff Castle, comprise an innovative, modern complex that is guaranteed to enchant visitors. Trauttmansdorff Castle, surrounded by twelve hectares of botanical gardens, is of historical interest because Empress Elisabeth of Austria, commonly known as Sissi, used the castle as a residence.
 
This guide contains information about Trauttmansdorff‘s local and exotic model landscapes, its various themed gardens, Artist Pavilions, interactive Experience Stations, and blooming highlights throughout the course of the seasons. The guide also describes the
wide array of events held at the gardens and outlines all walking circuits and panoramic trails. An overview map aids orientation.
