Muskau Park
Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau / Park Mużakowski
An English-style landscape garden spanning Germany and Poland, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Neue Schloss and the Neisse River banks blend into one landscape.
Muskau Park was created from 1815 by garden designer Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau. It straddles both banks of the Neisse River, covers about 830 hectares, and was declared a joint German-Polish World Heritage Site in 2004. The core is the Neues Schloss (museum) and its moat on the German side. Two bridges let you walk into the hilly garden landscape on the Polish side. The park is free to enter, but the castle exhibitions have an entry fee. It is about 55 km from Görlitz, roughly 1 hour by car. You can combine it with the Devil's Bridge at Kromlau as a day trip.

Park open all day; New Castle Apr–Oct 10:00–18:00
