What it is
The palace has two gardens. The Burggarten surrounds the palace itself on the island, with terraces, a grotto and views over the lake. Across the bridge, the Schlossgarten is a large Baroque garden with canals, tree-lined avenues and statues, continuing towards the shore of the Schweriner See.
How it works
The Schlossgarten is open all year at any hour and the Burggarten closes at dusk. Both are free. A loop round both, from the palace, is about 3.5 km and an hour and a half. The foundation asks you to follow the garden rules and warns that branches may fall on windy days.
