Accessibility
Our tours in the Bruno Weber Park are not all fully accessible to people with limited mobility.
For the house tour, the interior rooms on the first floor are only accessible via stairs; there is no elevator.
For the park tour, paths lead across cobblestones and forest trails. If you are uncertain about suitability, we recommend visiting the park in advance to check if the path conditions are appropriate.
Parking at the park is available. However, please contact us in advance so we can reserve a parking space for you.
The path from the parking lot via the Deer Alley (Hirschallee) is relatively steep; we therefore highly recommend an accompanying person for wheelchair users, or using a motorized wheelchair.
