Großer Garten, Public park in Dresden, Germany.
The Grand Garden extends over 2.1 square kilometers with multiple pathways, ponds, and green spaces arranged in a geometric pattern.
The garden originated in 1676 under John George III of Saxony as a hunting ground before its transformation into a French-style park.
The Summer Palace hosts temporary exhibitions of Baroque sculptures while featuring decorative elements depicting scenes from Faust on its exterior walls.
Visitors can access the park via several tram stops, rent bicycles, canoes at Lake Carola, or take the miniature railway through the grounds.
The Parkeisenbahn, a 5.5-kilometer miniature railway circuit established in 1950, operates with young volunteers managing the train service.
