Vortex Garden, Private park in Mathildenhöhe, Germany.
Description
Vortex Garden is a private park in Mathildenhöhe featuring stone pathways with 108 egg-shaped stepping stones made from Jurassic limestone arranged around a historic villa. The layout combines geometric forms with water features to create a cohesive design.
History
The house was built in 1921 when architect Jan Hubert Pinand designed the villa for the Diefenbach family. This structure has shaped the garden setting since its completion over a century ago.
Culture
The garden weaves artistic water features and spiral forms throughout its design, creating visual patterns that echo natural movements. These elements shape how people experience and move through the space on their daily visits.
Practical
The garden welcomes visitors daily without entrance fees and is easily accessible on foot. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable since the paths are made of stone and natural materials.
