> the water and terrace gardens, where you can find an Italian-style formal garden as well as an English garden;
> South Tyrol’s landscapes, featuring examples of South Tyrol’s nature from the valleys to the mountain tops;
> the wood gardens, with broad-leafed trees and conifers from Asia and America.
