Karlsaue Park
Staatspark Karlsaue
A Baroque garden on the banks of the Fulda, where the Orangerie, the marble bathhouse and Siebenbergen island dot the lakes and tree-lined avenues.
Karlsaue Park was laid out in the late 17th century. It covers about 150 hectares on the banks of the Fulda and was originally a Baroque garden, later converted into an English landscape garden. Radiating avenues and canals extend from the front of the Orangerie, showing off a formal order.
The Marble Bathhouse in the park is decorated with fine sculptures, and at its southern tip, Siebenbergen island is a flower island that looks its best in spring and summer. The park is free to enter, easily reached on foot from the city centre, and popular with locals for walking, cycling and picnics.
