Gondola rides

An unforgettable experience

Close your eyes on a gondola ride and let your mind wander. Listen to the oars dipping softly into the water of Lake Wörlitz and its canals, the birds singing all around you, the wind rustling through the leaves. Experience a moment of tranquillity that only Wörlitz can evoke.

What's special

Gondola rides

A trip across Lake Wörlitz and through the canals, as experienced by Prince Franz, is still one of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the constantly changing garden images of the landscape park.

Due to the low water level in Wörlitz Park, the gondolas are currently no longer traveling through the canals but are instead taking an alternative route across Lake Wörlitz. This allows you to continue enjoying the park from a special perspective and to experience its unique landscape at your leisure from the water.
