The Great Garden of Herrenhausen, Hanover
This is a famous tourist attraction of Hanover, created as an imitation of the Versailles Garden in France. Herrenhäuser Gärten, as it is called in German, is a beautiful garden in the baroque design, made in the seventeenth century.
The garden is resplendent all through the year. However in spring it looks especially beautiful as it comes alive with hundreds of colorful blooms.
An especially attractive feature of the garden is the glimmering caves. These were designed by Niki de Saint Phalles.
The gardens provide a beautiful setting for the Small Festival in summer, featuring small time entertainers like clowns and acrobats from all over the world. The International Fireworks Festival is also held in the Herrenhausen Gardens.
