ABOUT THE CASTLE GARDEN The Oldenburg Castle Garden is one of the most important historical parks in Germany. The approximately 16-hectare park with its variety of plant shapes and colors was created by Duke Peter Friederich Ludwig as an English landscape garden. The extensive lawns with picturesquely grown giant trees, winding paths and streams characterize the character of the park, as do the lush flowerbeds. The rhododendrons in particular attract numerous visitors every year. Historical buildings such as the court gardener's house, tea pavilion and winter house blend harmoniously into the garden landscape. Bat tours, readings, hydrangea days and tours of the kitchen garden take place regularly. In the 200 years of its existence, the park has undergone only a few interventions, so that to this day it presents itself to visitors almost unchanged, some of it even with the original trees.

The Moorhauser Polder is a flood polder that stores the flood waters of the Hunte. This year the water is particularly high due to the rainfall of the last few months. You could tell from the drift on the grass that it wasn't a meter higher. The Moorhauser Polder is an El Dorado for water birds. This year 15,000 barnacle geese and 10,000 white-fronted geese rest here. It is a spectacle when they fly in in the evening with loud cries and then fly off again in the morning to look for food.

The observation tower only slightly improves the view. It was difficult to get to the tower today. There is still a lot of water in the moor.

The reconstruction of this prehistoric boardwalk stands on the edge of the Witte Moor. In the past, when the moor was not yet drained, there was no other way to cross it. Today everything is much easier. Some boards provide information about the history and a large seating area invites you to take a break.

This coat of arms can be found next to the court gardener's house. The ivy has to be cut regularly so that the coat of arms remains visible. Who knows more about the meaning of the coat of arms?

The Oldenburg Castle Garden is an island of tranquility in the middle of the city.
