Branitz Inner Park Partially Closed for Tree Maintenance

Visitors to Branitz's inner park will find some areas temporarily inaccessible as the Stiftung Fürst-Pückler-Museum Park und Schloss Branitz conducts essential tree maintenance. The foundation cited the need to address damage to the park's old trees, which have been severely affected by recent extreme weather, including prolonged heat, drought, and heavy rain. This has led to increased deadwood and a heightened risk of branches breaking unexpectedly.

Despite the closures, the foundation assured that key routes remain open. These include the main paths connecting the parking lot, the estate's economy buildings, the castle with its Pleasureground, the castle gardens, and the pyramids, all leading towards the Tierpark. The park management plans to carry out the work continuously over the coming months.

An exact timeline for the completion of the maintenance was not provided. The closed sections will be reopened gradually as the work progresses. The foundation emphasized that the extreme weather conditions of recent years have significantly impacted the trees, necessitating these safety measures.
