Ludwigsburg



We investigated the Blooming Baroque in Ludwigsburg in the fall of 2006. We went during their harvest festival. They had decorated the grounds with all kinds of pumpkins and gourds, having a western theme. They built cowboys and Indians, totem poles, ponies and buffalos, and even a pioneer wagon out of gourds. The grounds themselves are a lovely garden, spacious with plenty of paths thru the woods, yard and flowers. The garden is a fairy tale garden, and so has various props, puppets and buildings throughout, dedicated to different stories. It also has a playground, a miniature train to ride and a adult size carousel.


There are 2 other castles in the town of Ludwigsburg, and they have plenty of festivals, markets, and concerts. There they also host the famous Venetian fairs every other year, which I am very interested in seeing. We are looking forward to visiting the other castles here too. All in all, it was a great day trip and lots of fun.
