egapark Erfurt

Imagine standing on what was once a formidable city fortress. Now, you're surrounded by the lush beauty of one of Germany's largest horticultural parks. Listen closely, and you might catch the gentle sounds of water flowing along the park's famous water axis. This area was originally used as a defensive fortification for the city. Behind you, the Cyriaksburg Citadel stands as a testament to this rich history. As you gaze over the vibrant flower beds, envision how from 1961, the International Horticultural Exhibition drew visitors from around the globe here. It's a place brimming with stories and natural splendor, transporting you to another era.
