The 4000 m2 Mediterranean garden is protected against bad weather and allows visits in any weather. The outdoor tour (only in the warmer months) leads through the Mediterranean garden, which is lovingly decorated with old citrus trees, palm trees, olives and many other Mediterranean plants.

From Christmas to March the biggest fruits ripen – Buddha’s hand, Maxima and Co reach over 35 cm in length and almost 3 kg in weight!
