The Butterfly Garden
 |
| Blue Morpho |
Discover the Chinese Atlas-moth, whose wing span measures about 25 cm, as it sleeps away the day undisturbed by the bustle around him. Or the blue Morpho of Brazil, floating through the air majestically.
In a second pavilion, the "caterpillar house", you can find tiny butterfly eggs, hungrily munching caterpillars and expertly camouflaged cocoons.
The little Chinese Dwarf quails, whose chicks are barely larger than a bumble bee, the turtles diving into the water and the mysterious iguana are a constant source of delight to our visitors.
Our small insectarium is home to tarantulas, snakes and other exotic pets. No matter what the weather, the daytime, if spring, summer or autumn, the Butterfly Garden is always an experience for our visitors young and old, a paradise for nature-lovers and hobby photographers. Come along and join us on a walk around this unique attraction!
Very close to the Butterfly Garden you will find the Palace of Sayn that hosts the regional Museum of cast iron and the restaurant “SaynerZeit”. The path “Rheinsteig” leads the hikers to the Castle of Sayn on top of the hill with its castle tavern “DieSayn Burg”, and not far from there the roman Limes, a UNESCO world heritage site. Also walking distance from the Castle and Palace, you will find the historic iron foundry “Sayner Hütte”, or the old mill “Heins Mühle” on the way to the romanesqueAbbey. We also recommend to visit other high ranking historic places in the surroundings of the romantic Upper Middle-Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For example: Marksburg in Braubach, the Vulkanpark in the nearby Eifel hills, as well as the famous Burg Eltz near Münstermaifeld.
