    There are elongated steps to the tower with good gradients. Perfect to give you some power while jogging. The reward is a great look 😁👍

      Schönbusch Landscape Park is perfect for walking. Many ways can be combined with each other, so that it never gets boring. But you should be there early and better not at the weekend, as it is very busy.

        Schönbusch Park is one of the earliest landscape gardens in southern Germany. The Archbishop and Elector of Mainz, Friedrich Carl von Erthal, had the former electoral game reserve converted into a park in 1775. With the significant involvement of his Minister of State, Count Wilhelm von Sickingen, and the architect Emanuel d'Herigoyen, artificial lakes and watercourses were dug, hills were raised and a winding belt path was laid out.

        By 1788/89, the palace had been joined by the farm building, the shepherds' houses and the village as rural, picturesque features, the Temple of Friendship and the Philosopher's House, the observation tower, the dining room and the Red Bridge.

        Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell had been brought in to complete the gardens by 1783 at the latest. Here, Sckell was able for the first time to apply the principles of landscape design he had learned in England to a completely new park. He left behind one of the most important landscape gardens in Germany.
