Nice park near the castle. We went there to see the trick fountains. The idea and execution are perfect, especially considering that it was created in 17th century. But I was a bit disapointed as imagined the walk through the fountains to be full of unexpected... but the guide always warned the group when and where to expect water, so... More

Pretty grounds and interesting buildings. The sit of the sound of music summer house has ben sited here.
