Germany – Eutin 2016+
Eutin’s setting, its horticultural tradition and its location in the lake network of Holstein Switzerland make the city an excellent venue for a horticultural exhibition.
With the rehabilitation of once-covered watercourses, small streams become visible again in the urban fabric. The development of pedestrian connections between the city and the lake allow the waterfront strip to be appreciated by both locals and visitors. The waterfront becomes part of the urban fabric.
Several historic urban squares, the lake shore and various green areas undergo significant transformation, while the quality of urban life and the town’s overall attractiveness is enhanced. The railway station, the historic city center and its market, the castle and the lake, and the areas of the horticultural exhibition are connected by new transparent walking routes.
The new touristic infrastructure - which focuses on both the movement-oriented visitors as well as those interested in horticulture - is concentrated to the urban bay area. Cultural attractions related to the historic castle park, the open-air stage and the proposed garden academy are located in the Bauhof area adjacent to the castle. The partial restoration or opening of the Stadtgraben watercourse creates a connection between the two lakes of Eutin.
