The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle

The fragrant gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle stretch across a sunny slope above Merano, a place where the Empress Elisabeth once liked to promenade. In the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, plants from all over the world are gathered together and typical landscapes of South Tyrol are presented. Paths meander uphill through water and terraced gardens, leading to the Sensual Garden or the Japanese Garden, to the cacti and succulents mound or to cultivated plants of the south, like the olive tree and the grapevine.
