Stamp point 78 / Baroque Gardens

The „Blankenburg Baroque Gardens“ ensemble begins behind the small castle and is part of the „Garden Dreams – Historical Parks in Saxony-Anhalt“ network.

The small plea­su­re gar­den with its sand­stone figu­res, foun­ta­ins, flower­beds and well-ten­ded hedges was inau­gu­ra­ted in 1718 and is now a popu­lar venue for weddings.

If you go through the door in the city wall at the end of the gar­den, you enter the ter­ra­ced gar­den with its loo­kout tower, prin­cess tower and tea house. At the end of the gar­den is the Obe­re Müh­le inn, once the hig­hest mill in the town. The stamp box HWN 78 Baro­que Gar­dens is loca­ted at the ent­rance to the inn. 

From here, it is worth clim­bing up to the Gre­at Cast­le and con­ti­nuing the hike past the for­mer sta­bles on the sign­pos­ted paths to the Lui­sen­burg ruins HWN 77.
