Hellbrunn Palace garden surrounded by a wall with 60 hectares of park and less than 20 minutes by bicycle from the city centre of Salzburg. Art historians see a mannerist work of art in this park, a chamber of wonders of garden architecture: partly artistically laid-out park landscape, partly untouched natural biotope; partly fields, ponds, hills, partly children’s paradise. The name Hellbrunn means, among other things, ‘healing spring’ – all who come here will understand why.

Diarmuid Gavin brings us the story of Hellbrunn Palace garden.
