A place to learn and linger! The Papendorf Fragrance and Touch Garden invites you into the world of medicinal, aromatic, fragrant and poisonous plants. The garden is divided into specific themed beds, lovingly and naturally designed.
The 5,000 m² garden of the Mirabell e. V. association is nestled in a hollow on the edge of the village. More than 300 different medicinal, aromatic and spice plants as well as vegetables, shrubs, berry bushes and flowers can be found here. You can discover the plants with all your senses, and individual plant parts and fruits can also be picked and tasted. Feel the different shapes and surfaces, experience the fruity scent of clary sage or the lovely aroma of the small fiery red flowers of the monard! When you gently rub the leaves of the Turkish dragon's head, essential oils give off an intense lemon scent. Let yourself be inspired by the great diversity of natural aromas. Old, rare vegetables and cereals are also grown in the garden.
An extensive barefoot path invites young and old to play. A walk through the Pomeranian labyrinth is an opportunity to calm down and connect with yourself and this ancient symbol. The lower part of the garden is barrier-free and suitable for wheelchair users. The plants are also signposted in Braille.
The garden is open at all times.
There is also a kiosk and café in front. The current opening hours can be found in the Wesbite. A range of young plants, regional herbal products, specialist literature, home-baked cakes, coffee and refreshments are available here.
