The ‘Garden of Butterflies’ is located to the east of Hamburg in historical Friedrichsruh. The locality is in Sachsenwald – Schleswig-Holstein’s largest continuous area of woodland. Princess Elisabeth von Bismarck’s garden is Germany’s oldest butterfly garden, and it enchants over 80,000 visitors every year with its variety and richly coloured tropical butterflies. Every stage of the mysterious metamorphosis can be seen here, and the newly gained knowledge can be applied to the native flora and fauna.
