The 10 most beautiful sunny spots in Karlsruhe
Summer is here and wants to be enjoyed. As soon as the first rays of sunshine warm up the fan-shaped city, it's time for many Karlsruhe residents and guests to get outside again. But where is the best place to enjoy the summer in Karlsruhe? We show you some of the most beautiful sunny spots in Karlsruhe.
The palace garden - Karlsruhe's green heart
Behind the palace is the extensive palace garden with a lake and the palace garden railroad. In summer, students can be seen outside with their books or families on their picnic blankets. The best place to watch the hustle and bustle is under one of the shady trees.
The botanical garden - the colorful oasis
In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city is the Botanical Garden, one of the most popular gardens in Karlsruhe. Here you can make yourself comfortable with a book on one of the white benches or relax on the large lawns. The lush blooms of exotic flowers and trees attract amateur photographers and botanical enthusiasts alike and are a popular subject for wedding photos.
Socializing on the castle forecourt
Just a stone's throw from the bustling city center, the castle forecourt with its landscaped lawns invites you to take a break. When the weather is nice, there is always something going on here: children play in the refreshment pools between the lawns while their mothers sit on a blanket chatting and watching them. The picturesque backdrop of the castle façade is particularly popular with visitors to the city for a souvenir photo.
The pheasant garden - a popular meeting place for students
Very close to the palace gardens is the pheasant garden, which is particularly popular with students due to its proximity to the university. You can always find a cool shady spot under the large trees on particularly hot days.
The Zoological City Garden - more than just animals
A relaxing alternative to the palace gardens, which are often full of people on hot summer days, is the Zoologischer Stadtgarten. The side of the park without animals in particular offers plenty of space for picnic blankets. A tour on the Gondoletta boats should definitely be on the program when visiting!
Haydnplatz - the insider tip
Haydnplatz is hidden in the middle of Karlsruhe's Weststadt district, between beautiful Art Nouveau houses. It is one of the smaller squares in the city and not as crowded as some other spots. After work, residents meet here to end the day in peace and quiet.
The Günther Klotz facility - more than just DAS FEST
The Günther-Klotz-Anlage is equally suitable for families, students and the young at heart as a sunny spot. Spacious play and sunbathing areas, a playground, a basketball court and the lake with boat hire invite young and old to linger. A paddle tour in the small rowing boats is particularly relaxing. Every year on the last weekend in July, DAS FEST transforms the area around "Mount Klotz" into one of the largest festival grounds in Germany.
The Alb - refreshingly shady
In the south of Karlsruhe, the Alb, a small river, meanders through the city. On its way from Bad Herrenalb to the Rhine, there are always small bathing spots where children can play in the water. The shady paths along the Alb are particularly popular with cyclists and walkers.
Durlach Palace Gardens -
The Durlach Palace Gardens are located in the center of the beautiful old town, close to the Karlsburg castle. It is a popular meeting place in summer, as its green spaces and fountains invite you to relax and linger. The historic park has children's playgrounds, seating areas and flowering perennials and summer flowers. One of the oldest chestnut avenues in Germany can also be found here.
TheTurmbergterrasse - far-reaching views and fantastic sunsets
From the Turmberg, you have a fantastic view over Durlach below and, further back, over Karlsruhe. Since 2015, visitors to the Turmberg have been able to enjoy a new terrace that invites them to linger in comfort. The sunsets in summer in particular are not to be missed.
