Guided tour with Martin Erb, tree expert. On the occasion of the European Day of Historic Gardens
Waldegg Castle is nestled in the open Jura landscape. From the Feldbrunnen district, the dead-straight, 500-metre-long avenue of lime trees leads to the castle. The castle is also part of a landscaped landscape with the magnificent baroque garden, the courtyard of honor with its mighty linden trees and the mixed east avenue leading to the grove.
The trees and their design characterize the castle. The oldest trees date back to the time when the palace complex was built at the end of the 17th century.
Martin Erb is an arborist and tree expert. Together with Domink Hossli, he has been looking after the trees at Waldegg Castle since the 1980s.
As part of the tour, Martin Erb will tell us about the history of the trees and their significance for people and other creatures. He will talk about how he and his colleagues deal with the challenge of ensuring the safety of the trees. The necessary replacement planting in a time of rapid climate change and the protection of trees during necessary construction work will also be discussed.
The tour will take place as part of the European Day of Historic Gardens. This is organized by the European Route of Historic Gardens, a non-profit association whose members work together to protect and promote the heritage of historic gardens. In October 2020, the ERHG was certified as a Council of Europe Cultural Route. Waldegg Castle has been a member of the route since 2025.
