Our Orangery cafe is open from Easter Friday until June every day from 12.00-4.30pm. From July on - its closed at Mondays. We work closely together with local suppliers and are also shareholders of all our own juices from the orchard held by the Hesselberg regional products.
Baron Süsskind leads you personally through its private gardens and the castle park Dennenlohe!
If you want to learn more about the history of the castle, the creation of the park and the future plans for the country park, then book yourself a private tour.
Since 2009 you can choose between tours of castle history and tours of the castle park and its plants!
Furthermore, we offer special medicinal herbs guides.
All tours start at the castle entrance - the bus can park at the parking lot waiting for you. Parking in front of the castle is unfortunately completley forbidden - and guides you through the private garden in the Rhododendron Park - you should have a good hour and interest for the park. Another one to two hours are minium to see the rest of the park!
If you come earlier to start at the Orangery Café, your leadership will begin there.
Please plan necessarily a minimum of one to two additional hours for another walk through the park and plenty of time for a possible stop at the Royal Stables Tavern & visiting the castle stores, the oldtimer museum or the temporary exhibitions in the historical hippodrome or the distillery.
Although not exactly the main flowering of rhododendrons is - as in May and June - or rose blossom until August, the attentive view of new, impressive and unusual images opens again in the castle grounds! In July there are blooming over 10,000 roses at Platnersberg and on the castle walls and thousands of water lilies in the pond.
