Landscape art between pleasure ground and outer park
Those who choose the park tour experience Branitz as an artfully composed garden landscape with lakes, streams, modeled elevations, and wide sightlines. The park was created starting in 1846 as Pückler's masterpiece and is considered the pinnacle of landscape garden art. Particularly striking are the Branitz Pyramids, the elaborate water system, and the historic park buildings surrounding the ensemble.
