Guided Story

Imagine stepping back in time to the grandeur of Saxony's baroque era. Look to your left, and you'll see the majestic reflections of the Palais in the calm waters of the Palaisteich. Did you know this pond was created to enhance the beauty of the Great Garden? Above you, clouds might drift by, their shapes mirrored in the water. Behind you, near the Brühl’sche Vase, you might hear the cheerful chug of the park railway. If you look closely, you might spot some ducks that call this pond home. This isn't just a place of peace; it's a living piece of history.
