点评:Weikersheim Castle is the highlight attraction of visits to the Old Town of Weikersheim. It is open from 9am to 6pm daily, closed on Mondays. Visits inside the castle are by guided tour only and the vast majority are in German unless organised with the castle in advance.
Entry fee for guided tours include access to the Castle Gardens. You can also enter the Castle Gardens only (€5) which is what we did on the day. This is a 18th-century French style garden influenced by Versailles. It is around 170 metres long, 100 metres wide and features a grand statue fountain of Hercules beautifully positioned in the centre of the garden with the palace in the background, makes for very nice photos.
You'll find long walkways, tree lined paths lined with interesting sculptures, nicely manicured hedges, rose gardens, arcade lined Orangery and generally quiet and tranquil environs to walk and enjoy leisurely if time allows.
We enjoyed our time browsing the Castle Garden and spent around 45 minutes here, finding it generally worth the entry cost if you plan to stop over at Weikersheim as part of Old Town visits along the Romantic Route.
翻译:魏克斯海姆城堡是魏克斯海姆老城最引人注目的景点。城堡每日上午9点至下午6点开放,周一闭馆。城堡内部参观必须参加导览团,除非提前与城堡方面联系安排,否则绝大多数导览团使用德语。
导览团的门票包含城堡花园的参观。您也可以单独参观城堡花园(5欧元),我们当天就是这么做的。这是一座受凡尔赛宫影响的18世纪法式花园。花园长约170米,宽约100米,中央矗立着一座宏伟的赫拉克勒斯雕像喷泉,以宫殿为背景,景色优美,是绝佳的拍照地点。
您会发现长长的步道、绿树成荫的小径,小径两旁点缀着精美的雕塑、修剪整齐的树篱、玫瑰园、拱廊环绕的橘园,以及一片宁静祥和的环境,如果您时间充裕,不妨在此漫步,悠闲享受。
我们在城堡花园里度过了愉快的时光,在这里待了大约 45 分钟。如果您计划沿着浪漫之路游览老城区,并在魏克斯海姆停留,那么我们认为这里值得一游。
