Gavnø Slotspark og skov

The castle park at Gavnø Castle is a historic park of approximately 80,000 m² in scenic surroundings on the island of Gavnø south-west of Næstved. The park is best known for Denmark's largest and oldest tulip festival, founded in 1957, which transforms the flowerbeds into a sea of colour with thousands of tulips in changing patterns every spring — the castle gardeners plant new bulbs each autumn, so no two seasons are alike. The park offers beautiful flowers throughout the season and includes a rose garden with a rose maze, a sensory garden and a Sakura cherry blossom avenue with around 40 trees over 100 years old in the northern part. There is plenty of space for walks and nature experiences for the whole family, and the park also serves as the venue for several of Gavnø's events.
