There were some parking spots here. We initially ended up at a small park for little kids in town and had to re-enter a few things to get us here. Our GSP made us pass the parking lot and turn down a bike trail which we didn't realize until we were on it... don't do that.

Just across town, the tall twin spires of the Einhard Basilika pierce the sky. Behind them, the…read moreshorter, more rounded octagonal "Angel's Tower" rises up from the basilica's sloping black tile roof. Built in 830 AD, local lore has it that the basilika was built from the stones of the ancient Roman citadel situated here. The builder was, of course, our old friend Einhard, whose remains are interred inside the basilica. Einhard, it turns out, was quite a lad--local lore has it that he eloped with Charlemagne's daughter, Emma. The emperor eventually came across her when she served him pancakes in an inn. Behind the basilika you enter an expansive 7.5-acre garden. It's surrounded by a long stone wall. Hedi tells me, "The Benedictine monks used plant and herbal medicines extensively and also grew their own produce. The garden still grows fruit trees, and vegetables and herbs that, in their day, were used in the monks' kitchen". There are also farm animals here like sheep, pigs, chickens and so on. Unfortunately a lot of these garden areas are closed for renovation at the moment. There is a cafe located in the garden grounds and there is a shop you can buy things produced by the monastery. Unfortunately the shop was closed due to the renovation. There are many events that happen here throughout the year and is a location for weddings as well. Beautiful place to visit when in town. It's open till 8pm most days.

Like most parks in Frankfurt they have signs everywhere saying dogs on a line only, which is really unfortunate :-( The Korean garden is located within this park as is a old theatre and a couple of cafes with lots of outdoor seating. Plenty of picnic areas and lots of space to spend a nice warm day. Been here twice and more than likely to come back here again. It's not massive but big enough to spend a day walking around and relaxing on the nice mowed grass areas of the park.

With so much space there is room for everybody. The grounds were once owned by the Goethe family, later by another famous family the Bethmann-Metzlers. In 1837 the Rothschilds bought the park and built the Grüneburgsschlösschen, little palace, and had the grounds relaid as a park by Siesmayer. The building was destroyed in 1944 and not rebuilt. Recently, as a result of the book fair in 2006, a fine pair of Korean houses have been erected in a quiet corner of the park.
