I had the pleasure of visiting the Gartenreich Dessau-Wörlitz twice—first in the cold spring, and most recently on a sunny Sunday this July. Each visit offered a completely different atmosphere, revealing new layers of beauty and charm.
My first impression of the park in spring was nothing short of magical. There were fewer people, which made it easy to get lost in the serenity.
Coming back this summer, I expected a livelier experience—and it absolutely delivered. The park was in full bloom, vibrant and lush. Flowers framed every pathway, and the canals sparkled under the sun. There were more visitors and some couples on gondola rides.
I loved how alive everything felt, but not overcrowded. Wildlife was more present too: birdsong, dragonflies, and even a stork sighting!
Both visits were unique and rewarding in their own ways. Spring is perfect for peaceful, introspective walks, while summer is ideal for soaking in the full vibrancy of the landscape and enjoying the social, cultural side of the park. The Gartenreich truly lives up to its name—a garden kingdom where nature, history, and beauty meet across seasons.
