"One park - two countries" Bad Muskau by magor65

Bad Muskau Travel Guide: 24 reviews and 35 photos

When in 2004 I read somewhere that the Muskauer Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, I was quite surprised because I had never heard about that place before, even though part of it lies in Poland. Since then I've wanted to see it and finally in August 2007 I was able to visit it. I wasn't disappointed - the huge park offers well-prepared paths and wonderful views. The Polish side is more 'natural and wild' - you can walk here for quite a long time not seeing any other visitors. The German one is more 'ordered' and neat, but you will not find here much solitude, especially in summer.
I think both parts are worth visiting, so if you happen to be near the German town of Bad Muskau (Land Sachsen) or Polish town of Zagan you should spend a couple of hours in the Muskauer Park. I know one thing - I must revisit it in autumn to see the place in its colourful attire.

Very interesting page about this little border town. Honestly speaking I have never heard about Bad Muskau, but it looks like it is well worth a visit. Have a lovely weekend.

Beautiful photos accompanying an excellent page on this amazing park and eccentric man! Bad Maskau looks like an idyllic place to enjoy a stroll in the sunshine. I loved your Fuchsia bridge view, its one of my favourite flowers!
