Gristede Rhododendron Park

A splendor of flowers beneath tall pines

The Bruns Nursery Rhododendron Park is located in the Gristede Forest on the country road from Wiefelstede to Bad Zwischenahn.

Chinese redwoods provide shade, while other solitary trees are interesting eye-catchers amidst the splendor of rhododendrons. Over 1,000 different varieties of rhododendrons and outdoor azaleas form the core of the collection. This is especially worth seeing between May and June, when the park transforms into a colorful floral landscape. Two ponds and an impressive park pavilion complete the picture.

The 25-hectare site also serves as a display garden for the Gristede Novelties®, with a special focus on rhododendron breeding. More than 150 varieties have already been cultivated here.

With its numerous seating areas and restroom facilities, the park is ideal for a rest during a bike ride or for a day trip.

Rhododendronpark Gristede

Highlight • Natural

Worth a visit in any season. Especially in April, May when the rhododendrons are in bloom and in July when the hydrangeas are in bloom. Beautiful paths, many benches to linger. Everything beautifully maintained.
