Seeing, smelling, comparing roses
At the center are old rose varieties like the Pearl of Weißenstein. With the watercolors of the court painter Pinhar, children look closely: Which blooms differ in color and shape, and which roses smell particularly intense? This transforms a walk into a little learning adventure filled with wonder, movement, and plenty of family time.

Fairy tale moment to conclude
At the end, the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty awaits. This combines nature experience, storytelling, and imagination in an age-appropriate way and gives the tour a warm, fairytale-like conclusion that resonates with children for a long time.
