Schleswig-Tiergarten: Time travel to the nobility & the dukes

Moderately difficult hike. Good basic condition required. Easily passable paths.

Embark on a journey to the age of nobles and dukes around Schleswig's Tiergarten on this tour. Because game was once kept in enclosures here and sometimes hunted, the wooded area was given its name "Tiergarten."Your journey into the past starts royally at the parking lot of Gottorf Castle. If you like, you can precede your walk with a tour of the magnificent castle with its richly decorated inventory. No less majestic is the baroque garden with its well-tended hedges and playful fountains. From here you continue your walk through the shady forest area. Via a short side path you come to the grave site of Duke Abel, who once fought against his brother for the Danish throne. After his death, not much more remained on this spot than an inconspicuous granite stone with an inscription. However, he himself is said to still haunt Schleswig's cathedral church.How you make your loops through the magnificent Tiergarten is up to you, as each path has its own unique charm.
