A lovely place for a break: At Rhododendronpark Hobbie, Germany's largest and privately run rhododendron park, you can enjoy the scent of the many blossoms and simply relax amidst a sea of flowers, woodland, and ponds. You can refresh yourself in the adjoining park café if you need something.

The Hobbie family's rhododendron park is a true oasis of relaxation. Surrounded by the forest that has grown over centuries, thousands upon thousands of rhododendrons in all colors, shapes and variations bloom from mid-April to mid-June and azaleas enchant with their bright colors.

Immerse yourself in the idyll of birdsong, beguiling scents and a picturesque sea of flowers and let your visit become a feast for all the senses. With a total area of 70 hectares, it is not only Germany's largest rhododendron park, but is also considered by experts to be one of the largest and most beautiful in Europe.

After World War I, a farmer from Ammerland, named Hobbie, enjoyed rhododendrons. The passion of this farmer, sparked by a book, has become one of the most beautiful rhododendron gardens in the region. A visit to the garden - preferably during the flowering period in May - is highly recommended.

WIKIPEDIA says:

The park covers a total of 70 hectares, making it Germany's largest rhododendron park. In the meantime, over 250 rhododendron game species and several thousand varieties of rhododendrons and azaleas in all colors, shapes and variations have grown up there. The largest rhododendrons are over 9 m tall and over 85 years old. These are embedded in the more than 300 year old forest with native and exotic deciduous and coniferous trees, such as B. sequoia trees, bald cypresses, ginkgos, tulip trees, linden, pedunculate oak, holly, Caucasian spruce, giant arborvitae, Douglas fir, sitka spruce, some of which are explained in an educational forest trail. In the center of the park is a 10,000 m² pond, which is framed by a sculpture garden during the flowering period from April to mid-June.
