Rhododendron Pond in Heltorf Park

Highlight • Lake

There are only a few benches in the park. Here is one of them. You wait in vain for the ice cream man - the coffee man comes sooner to the dreamy place. But only for fairies and elves.

Today, on May 1st, in sunny weather, I took a trip to Heltorf Castle and walked all over the park. It is really beautiful with its old trees and countless rhododendron bushes. What is missing are park benches or a nice café. But I had a cloth with me as a blanket and a snack for the break. -

And another park. For a small entrance fee, you can enter the facility. This park is not so typical park, but more natural. A very old stock of trees and the many rhododendron plants make the park special. With a bit of luck, the kingfisher can be found.
