Park Sanssouci
Sanssouci Park is a large park surrounding Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany, built in the mid-1700s under Frederick the Great. After the vineyard was terraced and the palace was completed, the surrounding area was incorporated into the structure. A baroque flower garden with lawns, flowerbeds, hedges and trees was created. 3,000 fruit trees were planted in the hedge district. The greenhouses of the numerous nurseries housed oranges, melons, peaches and bananas. The goddesses Flora and Pomona, who adorn the entrance obelisk at the eastern park exit, were placed there to emphasize the connection of a flower, fruit and vegetable garden. Together with the Sanssouci Palace and other Neaby palaces and parks, the Sanssouci Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990 because of its unique architectural unity and its testimony to 18th and 19th century landscape design in Europe.

It's not just Sanssouci Palace or the New Palace that are impressive, the surrounding palace park is a real feast for the eyes. Even if you don't care about the old walls, you can spend hours on the paths between the meadows, along the streams and under the trees.

The pleasure palace Frederick the Great with its magnificent gardens is a myth. A real eye-catcher is the large fountain in front of the main staircase flanked by the vineyard terraces.
