GERMANY ~ Muskau Park - Bad Muskau - UNESCO ~

... Lovely view of a mid 19thC landscape park... a pearl of garden art of that period... the largest and one of the most famous English-style parks in Europe... the centre of the park is the two castles - the New and the Old - together with flower gardens, little ponds, waterfalls, small beautiful bridges, stables, orangeries, sanatoriums and a “kurhouse” with healthy mud-baths and even a private railroad and man-made canal... blending seamlessly with the surrounding farmed landscape, the park pioneered new approaches to landscape design and influenced the development of landscape architecture in Europe and America... a unique place for nature lovers... Thanks Kathrein!ヽ(ヅ)ノ
A landscaped park of 559.9 ha astride the Neisse River at the border between Poland and Germany.The park covers 3.5 square kilometers of land in Poland and 2.1 km2 in Germany.

The founder of the park was Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), the author of the influential Hints on Landscape Gardening. He was the owner of Bad Muskau since 1811. After prolonged studies in England, in 1815 he founded the Park. 

The Muskau Park has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2004.(as a joint effort between Poland and Germany)
