The grounds are wonderfully well-maintained and authentic. The colorful koi in the lake are an attraction in their own right. The teahouse doesn't open until 1 p.m. However, there were only a few visitors during our morning visit, so we were able to enjoy the garden in peace. https://badlangensalza.de/kur-tourismus/entdecken-erleben/sehenswertes/parks-themengaerten/japanischer-garten/
