When the Thuringian State Garden Show opens its doors in the neighbouring town of Leinefelde-Worbis in 2026, the medieval imperial city of Mühlhausen will also be transformed into a lively centre of green inspiration and cultural diversity. Under the inviting motto ‘Something will blossom for you here’, we invite you to rediscover the unique combination of historical splendour and natural freshness.

In Mühlhausen, garden art means more than just beautiful flowers – it is an experience for all the senses. Our city walls, majestic churches and winding alleys of the old town form the backdrop for a programme as colourful as a summer garden:

Exclusive guided tours: Learn the secrets of medieval herbalism in the monastery garden of the Kornmarktkirche or follow botanical trails along the historic city walls.

Green oases of tranquillity: Discover the ‘New Cemetery’ – one of Thuringia's most significant parks in terms of garden art – or enjoy the fresh greenery of the Mühlhausen city forest.

Outdoor culture: From the ‘Mühlhäuser Pflaumenblüte’ (Mühlhausen plum blossom festival) to the traditional fountain festival and summer concerts in our parks – we celebrate the connection between nature and joie de vivre.

Whether you come to us as a gardening enthusiast, culture lover or relaxation seeker, Mühlhausen will welcome you in 2026 with an atmosphere that breathes history and plants the seeds of the future. Let yourself be enchanted by our hospitality and enjoy a year full of blossoming surprises.

Come and visit us – we will make Mühlhausen blossom for you!
