The history of the island itself is very diverse, it changed many owners, survived wars and devastation, until it ended up in the ownership of the ancient Bernadotte family (the ruling family of the kingdom of Sweden). It was then that they began to create this piece of paradise in miniature.

The main climatic feature of the island of Mainau is its tropical and subtropical climate, uncharacteristic for Europe, in which even rare plants grow like mushrooms after rain. Therefore, now it is a real paradise island with changing exposures, according to the flowering seasons, tropical trees and butterflies.

Be sure to visit the tropical pavilion "Palmenhaus", which has a collection of 1200 orchids and the Butterfly House, which has about 1000 species of the most exotic specimens.

Mainau is one continuous positive emotion!
Butterflies that freely sit on your hand, flowers, greenery, orchids, views of the lake - feel free to allocate a whole day to visit the island - there is definitely where to walk and what to see!

P. S. I visited Mainau as part of a group bus tour, so I won’t tell you the technical details - how to get there and how much the entrance to the island costs.
