Guided Story

Can you feel the serenity that envelops this place? Look around and discover one of Munich's most enchanting spots. Imagine this garden back in 1613, when it was the private retreat of the Wittelsbach family. Dukes and duchesses once strolled these paths, accompanied by soft music. Behind you is the Diana Temple, often filled with the tunes of street musicians in summer. Listen to the melodies and let the history captivate you. In autumn, the garden is draped in golden hues, sparkling in the low sun. It's the perfect place to unwind and let your mind wander.
