Beginning of fall in the Japanese Garden of Wolfsgarten palace

Schloss Wolfsgarten, Langen, Germany,

recent weekend.

Schloß Wolfsgarten is a former hunting seat of the ruling family of Hesse-Damstadt, approx. 15 km south of Frankfurt am Main.
In the twentieth century, Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig extensively modernized Schloß Wolfsgarten and rearranged its park.

The 100-year-old Japanese Garden was restored in 2011and newly opened on the occasion of the "Japantag" within the Royal Garden Festival / Fürstliches Gartenfest at Schloss Wolfsgarten.

The Japanese Garden with a big water lily pond in its center accomodates various old dawn redwood and Japanese maple trees with the slender leaves. They change their colour from green to yellow into dark red during the autumn season. This process is right now in full swing.

The property and its garden is open to the public only on two weekends in May during the annual Rhododendrenblüte / Rhododendron festival and again for a weekend in September for the The Schloss Wolfsgarten Garden Festival

Have a great start into an inspiring and colourful new (work) week!
