Kräutergarten Bad Mühllacken, Herb garden in Feldkirchen an der Donau, Austria
Kräutergarten Bad Mühllacken is an herb garden spanning about 1500 square meters, divided into sections for medicinal plants, biblical species, and traditional Austrian flora. The layout allows visitors to explore different plant groups and understand how each one was used.
The garden was established in June 2006 by the Marienschwestern vom Karmel to preserve regional herbal medicine knowledge. This project connects religious tradition with contemporary interest in plant-based wellness.
The garden honors Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval nun who studied herbal medicine, through a dedicated walking path that visitors can explore. You can see how people in the past used plants for healing and wellness in everyday life.
The garden is free to visit and offers herb seminars, guided tours, and workshops throughout the year. Wear comfortable walking shoes and check ahead, as opening times change with the seasons.
A hill section within the grounds is planted with aromatic herbs that release fragrant essential oils as you walk through. Many visitors pass by this sensory experience without realizing how memorable it becomes during a visit.
