Because something special has to wait for the visitors here. And indeed: they form the entrances to a remote forest park that sits lonely on a fortified high bank of the Elbe – the Sieglitzer Berg. The fact that it is more forest than park gives it a captivating natural beauty and creates a contemplative atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in the Garden Realm<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row woodmart_css_id=”61d2ff8fb2ca3″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”yes” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”21939″ img_size=”” alignment=”center” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″]\t\t\t

History<\/div>

Of recovery<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the middle of the dense green of this forest park, you will come across a gleaming white building: the Solitude. The classicist building, which was built from 1777 onwards, is reminiscent of a Doric temple. But the building was not only decoration for the forest park. No, it had a very specific function. This is indicated by the golden letters above the columns in front of the entrance. It says “THE IMPROVEMENT”. <\/p>\n

Prince Franz, plagued by rheumatic complaints, found the perfect place for a spa in the seclusion of the forest. The water for warm, soothing baths came from a kitchen building, of which only ruins stand next to the Solitude today \u2013 silent witnesses of the time when the complex still served the creator of the Garden Realm for recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row woodmart_css_id=”61c0f77fc8a31″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Come on in!” color=”black” el_class=”welterbe-abschnitt-ueberschrift”][vc_custom_heading text=”What to expect” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”appear” el_class=”welterbe-abschnitt-beschreibung”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row woodmart_css_id=”61c0887e718b1″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ el_id=”Public guided tours of the park”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”welterbe-akkordion-container hell” woodmart_css_id=”65c0af331c0d3″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NWMwYWYzMzFjMGQzIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t\t

Solitude<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t

The original Solitude was deliberately destroyed during the GDR era. From 2008 onwards, it was possible to reconstruct it thanks to numerous donations, subsidies and the work of the Rotary Club of Dessau.<\/a> Since 2010, it has been shining white again from the shadows of the forest park and opens its doors to interested Garden Realm guests on special occasions or thematic tours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_single_image image=”15309″ img_size=”” alignment=”center” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”peacoc” c_icon=”triangle” c_position=”right” collapsible_all=”true” active_section=”100″ no_fill=”true” el_class=”welterbe-akkordion hell”][vc_tta_section title=”Opening hours” tab_id=”1640079519914-6ff88914-b9ee64bd-ee03″][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]The Solitude is open only on special occasions.<\/p>\n
