Riassunto

Naturally rich in forests and lakes, the countryside around the royal seats of Berlin and Potsdam once inspired Prussia's rulers to create magnificent palaces and grounds. Over 350 years later, these grounds have survived and evolved over the centuries to form a fusion of nature and culture. A UNESCO World Heritage site, they remain an enduring testimony to a rich landscape, gardening tradition established by such notable artists as Le Notre, Godeau, Lenne and Schinkel. The parks and gardens at the palaces of Charlottenburg, Grunewald and Glienicke in Berlin, Sanssouci and Babelsberg in Potsdam, and at Caputh, Paretz, Oranienburg and Rheinsberg continue to enchant millions of visitors from around the world every year. Viewing such majestic grounds offers a colourful, first-hand experience of the eventful history of Prussia and its rulers.
