    A magnificent baroque garden in the middle of Franconian Switzerland? What's it all about? Behind this is a rather extraordinary story about a retired lawyer who discovered his passion for Baroque garden design, when he saved two old tower vases of the basilica in Gößweinstein from rubbish recycling many years ago, set it up on his property and restored it painstakingly by hand. But that was not the end. Rather, the vases were the starting gun for a hobby that has evidently escalated "a bit". Today, the spry retiree can stroll proudly through a magnificent garden, which would suit any grand palace. Unfortunately, the site is not open to the public. If you come by and the owner is just around, maybe he'll give you a little private audience if you ask nicely.

      An absolute "must" in Egloffstein, Manfred Ritter's baroque garden with numerous sculptures and figures. There is a Mediterranean ambience in a Franconian landscape, you can see the beautiful "Italian" gardens from the street, but entering the complex is not permitted.

        A neighbor informed us that the owner unfortunately passed away in April of this year. Therefore, the complex was no longer so well-kept. Pity
