What people say

"The place was very nice and definitely worth the money. There is an easily accessible chairlift with three stops. You can get on at one stop, ride to the middle station, and get off easily to visit the Natur-Bobbahn roller coaster, which requires a separate ticket. For the gardens and chairlift, there is a combo ticket available, which we got, and it was totally worth it. The Natur-Bobbahn ticket is separate, but it’s a one-time experience that’s definitely worth trying. After that, you can get back on the chairlift and continue your journey to the next stop. From there, you can explore the beautiful gardens inspired by different countries around the world. The best one among all was the Islamic Garden — it was extremely large, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful."
