What it is
Between 1732 and 1740, when Crown Prince Frederick commanded a regiment in Neuruppin, a garden was made here, the Amalthea-Garten, today the Tempelgarten. His friend the architect Knobelsdorff built the Temple of Apollo in 1735, his first work. With the Sanssouci park and the one at Rheinsberg, it is one of Frederick's three gardens in Brandenburg, with Baroque sandstone putti and an exotic air. It lies in the green belt of the old town wall.
How it works
On foot from the centre, following the wall promenade and the moat. It takes a good half hour.
