Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze rustling through the plane tree leaves? This grove is a serene escape, blending art and nature beautifully. Look up, the trees form a canopy that offers refreshing shade in the summer. If you listen closely, you might hear the soft whisper of the leaves. Behind you, the striking Russian Chapel with its golden domes stands out, a beautiful contrast to the art here in the grove. The artist Bernhard Hoetger left his mark with sculptures that speak of mythology and humanity. In autumn, when the leaves turn into warm hues, the grove becomes even more enchanting. Take a moment, sit on one of the benches, and soak in the atmosphere.
