Queen-Auguste-Victoria-Park, Landscape garden in Umkirch near Freiburg, Germany.
The 11-hectare park contains six artificial ponds reflecting the nearby castle, complemented by ancient oak trees and numerous botanical specimens.
The estate, previously owned by Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, was acquired by publisher Werner Semmler in 1993, who transformed it into an English-style landscape garden.
The park received the European Garden Culture Creation Prize in 2002, recognizing its contribution to contemporary landscape design and garden art.
Regular public concerts take place in the park, including the annual Mother's Day performance featuring opera singers and street performers in May.
The six artificial ponds within the park bear names of Werner Semmler's family members, creating personal connections to the landscape features.
