Muenzesheim, Germany - 19th August 2009

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
in the morning we visited an Asian garden in Münzesheim. This garden belongs to a therapy center for alcohol and drug addicts. This garden is one of the most impressive Asian gardens in Europe. All buildings and works of art are made by patients of the therapy center based on antique models. The garden is about 5.000 m² large, it is open for patients and visitors.

First we saw a pond with water lilies. It was surrounded by a fence with pretty little sculputres sitting on the balustrade.

Almost everything is made of ceramics; the benches, figures, statues and more.

We entered the "Blue Grotto" than. It is a small round room, which is almost completely blue inside. The ceiling is made of blue glass bottles, which were put into the concrete with their bottoms to the outside, the walls are covered with blue tiles and the floor also. Have a look ...

Here you can see the bottles. Daylight is coming into the grotto through those bottles and creates a surreal atmosphere.

In a surrounding wall there are holes with special stones from all parts of the world. Volcanic rock, flintstone, a piece of Berlin Wall and more. Here we found a piece of rock from Grand Canyon.

On an island in a pond you can find a cafe.

Of course you can find a wooden red bridge here.
