Sababurg: Sleeping Beauty Castle

Sababurg Palace rises above the zoo of the same name in the middle of the Reinhard forest. The almost 700-year-old castle houses a romantic hotel, a restaurant, a café, and even a registry office. In 1987, it was the first place to get married outside a town hall in Germany. In the inner courtyard of the castle and in the medieval vaulted cellar, there are regular performances, lectures, and concerts that take place. A special highlight of the complex is the historical castle garden, which was restored a few years ago. If you visit Sleeping Beauty Castle from the end of May to August, you can admire the beautiful rose blooming. The primeval forest nature reserve of Sababurg is located very close to the castle. On a walk you can admire the primeval forest biotope with its mighty 800 to 1000-year-old oak trees.
