The glowing gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle: LUMAGICA conquers Merano this winter
For the first time since their opening in 2001, the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle are opening their doors in the winter months for a magical attraction:
The LUMAGICA Park of Lights, South Tyrol's only park of its kind, will open its doors on 22nd November 2024 and take visitors on an incomparable journey through the fascinating worlds of the botanical gardens. The LUMAGICA Light Park is more than just a light installation - it is a tribute to the beauty of nature and the diversity of life. Each handcrafted light installation has been carefully designed to reflect the unique themes and atmospheres of the botanical garden and enchant visitors of all ages.
‘We are delighted to present the LUMAGICA Light Park in Merano for the first time this winter,’ says Thomas Mark, President of the renowned company MK Illumination, which creates the handcrafted light sculptures. ‘The impressive backdrop of Trauttmansdorff Castle provides the perfect stage for the light park, which will fascinate visitors from all over the world.’
The key visual shows a majestic hummingbird, its luminous form hovering above the reflections of the lake, while a girl reaches out to it in fascination - a symbolic representation of the connection between humans and nature that lies at the heart of this extraordinary event.
