Already a small highlight in Pulnitz and nice to walk around including the sculptures and the arcade.

The frozen pond in January 2011 in the Pulsnitz Palace Park. A walk in the Pulsnitz palace park along the palace pond is interesting, relaxing and healthy in both summer and winter. In winter you can follow the tracks of the animals in the snow particularly well.

The palace park in Pulsnitz invites you to go for a walk or to relax and linger. Even if the stock of trees does not show any exotic peculiarities, it is remarkable because of its above-average age. The oldest oaks are from the 16th century.

An exact time of origin of the park cannot be proven. However, it can be assumed that there was a Renaissance garden and that during the construction of the Baroque palace in 1718 it was redesigned in the same taste of the time. Hornbeam arcades were laid out around 1830, some of which have been preserved. English garden architecture prevailed in the 19th century. The castle pond and its shore area were included and the peninsula and the opposite shore path were created. The meadows and groups of trees in the rear part of the park reflect the influence of Prince von Pückler-Muskau, who created the famous parks in Lusatia. Evergreen rhododendrons were planted around 1930, because Pulsnitz Castle served the rulers of the time primarily as a winter residence.

Of the sandstone sculptures that were included in the design of the park, only a baroque vase on a pedestal in the central axis of the large meadow in the front part of the park has survived. The park is enlivened by sculptures by the sculptors Hartmut Bonk, Helmut Heinze, Gerd Jaeger, Wolfgang Kuhle, Frank Maasdorf and Klaus Michael Stephan. They all have in common the study of sculpture and partly also the later professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden.
