Ludwigsburg and real life fairy-tales

Ludwigsburg is about 12 kilometers away from the Stuttgart City Center, and is known for the Residential Palace and Mӓrchengarten (Fairy-tale Garden). It is a lovely city and the Palace is beautiful.

I highly recommend a visit to the Mӓrchengarten. It may sound like something suited for children, but it is exciting for people of all ages. Seeing your childhood fairy-tales come to life and the characters in larger than life form is wonderful and exciting. Take a boat ride through Geppetto’s workshop, and see Pinocchio come to life. Climb up Rupunzels tower or visit the Frog Prince’s residence. A wonderful morning or afternoon activity for young and old that will have you reminiscing about your childhood.

The Palace is massive and breathtakingly beautiful. It is also one of Germany’s largest Baroque Palaces. It is surrounded by the most stunning gardens as well as the Mӓrchengarten. Just a few minutes’ walk away you will also discover the Hunting Lodge and Summer Residence Favourite, which Duke Ludwig built for his mistress. It is lovely to look at, but pales in comparison to the giant Residential Palace.

Ludwigsburg makes for a perfect morning or afternoon adventure and is only a short train trip from Stuttgart. It was also covered in beautiful street art at the time of my visit. One can easily walk from the station to the Mӓrchengarten and Palaces, so transport is not a problem.

I recommend you visit this lovely place and relive your childhood fairy-tales.
