Strut through the palace complex as a prince and princess or play knights and robbers between the trees - the Elisabethenburg palace complex invites you to play and stroll. Here in the listed park you feel like you are in another world, far from the noise of the street and everyday stress. In addition to the royal stables and palace gardens, the castle grounds also include the riding hall, which is now used as a museum. There are also over 50 exhibition rooms in the palace, which document the impressive variety of styles from baroque to historicism. Back in the castle park we walk past the creepy crypt chapel and the pond with an artificial ruin within view of the Meininger Theater in the English Garden. Throughout the park, little naturalists can read interesting facts about water, animals and plants. Not completely exhausted yet? Then the playground for the little ones or the fitness trail for the grown-ups is just the thing.
Author’s recommendation
This ParkSafari has fun guess-search-stations and a safari kit for children. The low-barrier paths are ideal for a trip with the whole family.

Safety information
The tourist routes of the Rhön are mostly used by other active people (hikers, mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, riders, cross-country skiers, etc.).We ask all active nature sports enthusiasts to show consideration for one another. The same applies of course to nature - it is worth protecting. In the Rhön, therefore, nature sports should only be practiced in daylight on designated paths and areas.
