In Lennè's footsteps III

From tree to tree

Park Sanssouci / Address: Roman Baths at Park Sanssouci, 14471 Potsdam (meeting point)

A DAY WITH LENNÉ (seven sleepers day): What would Potsdam's gardens be without Peter Joseph Lenné? He not only left wonderful creations, which we still enjoy in Sanssouci and in the New Garden, in Glienicke, on Peacock Island, in Petzow and in many other places, he also came up with the master plan of turning the "island" of Potsdam into a green countryside paradise. This is why this whole day shall be dedicated to him and his gardens. A resounding homage to one of the greatest garden artist and landscape designers of his era who did not only create small paradises for kings but also the most beautiful of habitats for everyone!
