Herb Garden

A small herb garden at the "Parkhof" country inn between Miltenberg and Kleinheubach that adds the sense of taste to the neighbouring St. Odilia garden for the blind.

Right beside the St. Odilia garden for the blind, at the "Parkhof" country inn, lies a herb garden that carries the neighbouring garden's idea a step further. What can be touched and smelled there can also be tasted here – a place designed to engage as many senses as possible.

Herbs to Taste

The herb garden and the adjacent St. Odilia garden for the blind are conceived as a pair. Where the plants in the garden for the blind are experienced above all through touch and smell, here the sense of taste is added. Together the two gardens form a place that deliberately appeals to several senses.

The visit invites you not just to look at the herbs but to experience them – an easy, low-barrier way into the world of plants that requires no prior knowledge.

Around the Parkhof

The herb garden sits in the quiet, park-like surroundings of the "Parkhof" country inn, with mature trees including plane trees, oaks, field maples, wych elms and lime trees. A beer garden invites you to linger.

Just a few metres away begins the butterfly meadow, one of the Parkhof's popular attractions in summer. A visit combines well with a stroll through the adjoining Kleinheubach palace park.
