The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle

The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle cover an area of 12 hectares and extend over an altitude difference of 100 metres, offering a stunning view of the 80 different garden landscapes, of the city of Merano/Meran and of the surrounding mountain ranges. The gently meandering paths through the garden offer visitors the opportunity to explore four garden worlds home to plants from all over the world, across sunny terraces and past gurgling stream waters.

Highlights

Ambling through the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle is always a special experience that changes from one week to another. The arrival of Spring is heralded by a sea of tulips in bloom, followed by rhododendrons, peonies and roses. With summer approaching, sunflowers and hundreds of flowers and perennials are decked in their brilliant colours, until Autumn.

Special exhibitions and annual themes

Every year, the Gardens and the Touriseum take turns organizing a special exhibition or an annual theme. One year, the Touriseum team approaches the history of tourism in an original way; the next year, the Trauttmansdorff team does an exhibition with an intriguing botanical theme.
