Discover the Egapark: Thuringia's green oasis for families!
When the Pentecost holidays are just around the corner, there is a lot to discover in Thuringia, especially in Erfurt. The Egapark, which is presented today as one of the highlights, is not only a garden monument, but also a popular destination for families and garden lovers. How np-coburg.de reports, the park extends over an impressive 36 hectares and presents a variety of attractions that invite you to linger and discover.
Even after the 2021 Federal Garden Show, Egapark will continue to be a place for meeting and relaxing. This year the park was not only enriched by the desert and jungle house “Danakil”, which is very popular, but also offers the largest collection of flower beds in Europe. The rose garden terraces and the Japanese rock and water garden in particular are real gems that enchant visitors.
Attractions in Egapark
What do visitors find in Egapark? The offer is colorful and varied:
- Größtes ornamental bepflanztes Blumenbeet Europas

The Federal Garden Show, which took place from April 23rd to October 10th, 2021, gave the city and Egapark in particular new impetus. Like the city of Erfurt in its report mentioned, Buga's goal was to create new leisure spaces and upgrade existing areas in order to increase the quality of life. This was done not only through creative garden design, but also through the creation of leisure activities for all age groups and the improvement of accessibility.
Urban development through garden art
Erfurt made a name for itself as a garden city, so to speak, starting in the Middle Ages and ending with the first international horticultural exhibition in 1865. This tradition can still be seen today in the revitalized landscape and the creation of the Geraaue, a 4.5 kilometer long and 60 hectare green ribbon that connects the old town with the large northern residential areas. bundesgartenschau.de emphasizes that the Buga acts as a motor for urban development and has significantly improved the north of Erfurt.
The changes in Egapark and on Petersberg, another central area of the Buga, will remain in place even after the event. The city ensures that the newly created offers and leisure areas continue to be available to the population. An example of this is the targeted creation of seating and lying areas as well as sports and games in the area.
In summary, if you are planning a trip to Erfurt during the Pentecost holidays, you should pay a visit to Egapark. There's something on offer for every age group - from lavishly designed gardens to exciting play opportunities for the little ones. A good reason to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the impressive gardening achievements!
