Rhododendronpark Graal-Müritz, Botanical garden and architectural monument in Graal-Müritz, Germany.
Rhododendronpark Graal-Müritz is a botanical garden with thousands of rhododendron and azalea plants spread across forested grounds. The layout includes walking paths, seating areas, and a concert pavilion set within the natural woodland setting.
A landscape architect from Rostock converted this former sandpit into a woodland park between 1955 and 1961, introducing plants from North America and Eurasia. This transformation demonstrates how industrial sites were reclaimed for public enjoyment after the war.
The concert pavilion hosts regular music performances, exhibitions, and readings that bring people together throughout the year. These events have become an important part of how locals and visitors experience the space.
The park is accessible year-round with walking paths and seating available throughout. The most rewarding time to visit is from May to June when the plants display their best flowering.
Poetry readings take place weekly beneath a special beech tree, a tradition that started during the park's 50th anniversary celebration. This unexpected blend of nature and literature creates a memorable experience for those who discover it.
