Guided Story

Feel that fresh breeze up here? Straight ahead is the majestic castle garden, a sea of green stretching far into the distance. Imagine how Margrave Charles III William was inspired by this view to design Karlsruhe with its unique fan-shaped layout. Look to your left, and you'll see the Baden State Museum, whispering tales from the past. To your right stands the Karlsruhe Palace, a baroque masterpiece telling the story of the Margraves and Grand Dukes of Baden. Take a moment to admire the symmetry of the gardens, especially beautiful when the evening sun bathes everything in a golden light. And behind you, in the distance, you might even glimpse the foothills of the Black Forest.
