The Mediterranean Terrace with Fountain Court is an ideal setting for the world of Mediterranean flora. Many tropical plants line the path to the fountain yard during the summer months; The luxurious landscape of the spacious gardens exudes a Mediterranean feel and offers a unique panoramic view of Lake Constance. Especially striking is the ancient Chinese trumpet vine (Campsis grandiflora), a climbing shrub that bears bright orange-red flowers. A plethora of tropical and sub-tropical plants such as palms, agaves, bougainvilleas and passionflowers against a background of sweet chestnuts and various cypress species accentuate the character of the Mediterranean.
