Stamp point 78 / Baroque Gardens

The “Blankenburg Baroque Gardens” ensemble begins behind the small castle and is part of the “Garden Dreams — Historical Parks in Saxony-Anhalt” network.

The small plea­sure gar­den with its sand­stone fig­ures, foun­tains, flowerbeds and well-tend­ed hedges was inau­gu­rat­ed in 1718 and is now a pop­u­lar venue for weddings.

If you go through the door in the city wall at the end of the gar­den, you enter the ter­raced gar­den with its look­out tow­er, princess tow­er and tea house. At the end of the gar­den is the Obere Müh­le inn, once the high­est mill in the town. The stamp box HWN 78 Baroque Gar­dens is locat­ed at the entrance to the inn. 

From here, it is worth climb­ing up to the Great Cas­tle and con­tin­u­ing the hike past the for­mer sta­bles on the sign­post­ed paths to the Luisen­burg ruins HWN 77.
