Josefslust, Royal hunting park in Sigmaringen, Germany.
Josefslust is an expansive woodland park in Sigmaringen featuring multiple lakes and ancient tree stands. The grounds are crossed by a well-developed network of paths that lead to different areas with sculptures and metal markers.
The park began when Prince Joseph Friedrich commissioned a hunting lodge in 1727. The land was then gradually expanded and transformed into an enclosed hunting ground by 1790.
The park is named after Prince Joseph Friedrich, who established this hunting estate. Visitors can sense today how this place held special meaning for the family that shaped it over centuries.
The park is accessible from the road between Krauchenwies and Sigmaringen with a marked entrance. The extensive path network lets visitors choose how long they walk and which routes to explore.
In the 19th century, the park was known for hosting the hunt of the region's last large predator. The memory of this event is still kept at the nearby castle.
