Guided tour for adults

Sheep have been grazing the meadows in the northern part of the palace gardens for several years. On this guided tour with two experts, visitors learn interesting facts about the animals, their species-appropriate husbandry and their contribution to landscape conservation.

On the way to the herd, garden manager Andrea Badouin (SPSG) talks about the care of the meadows and lawns and about the grazing concept that forms the basis of sheep farming in the palace garden. Shepherd Hannah Becker introduces the animals and describes how she works with them: Why are sheep considered a "cab of biodiversity"? How can grazing areas in the city be successful? What do sheepdogs need and what can they do? How do sheep, dogs and humans communicate with each other? How is the wool obtained and what happens to it? At the end, guests have the opportunity to go into the herd and make contact with the animals themselves.

The program lasts about one and a half to two hours and is aimed at adults. For families with children, we offer the "Queens of the meadows" event at 11 am. Please note that there are only limited parking spaces available in the area around the castle gardens. We recommend traveling by public transport.Translated with DeepL
