From the medieval center you come to the edge of the town and this is where the Hanging Gardens begin. The gardens can be seen even better if you drive in from the south. Thuin is located on a high hill and on the foothills of the hill are the gardens. The gardens are only found on the southern slope. The gardens and terraces were created during the construction of the city. They are part of the fortifications of the city. Very special is that the terraces have a microclimate. Due to the abundance of sunlight, special fauna and flora grows for the region.
