Ludwigsburg Schloss & Pumpkin Festival

Starting in September there is a Pumpkin Festival & Fairy Tale Gardens in Ludwigsburg Germany about 10 minutes north of where we live in Stuttgart.  It is held at the Ludwigsburg Schloss (or Castle/Palace) which is not your traditional Schloss, it's more referred to as a Residence Schloss & is baroque in style.  We have been to Ludwigsburg a few times & it is such a quaint town. We love Ludwigsburg!  The Schloss grounds & gardens are very beautiful & can be visited year round but around the fall season the Festival starts.  In one area they have pumpkins made into pretty much anything you can think of on display.  In an older section of the grounds, where there is an old tower,  they have the Fairy Tale/Magic Gardens where they have moving displays of most any traditional  Grimms Fairy Tales....Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty....it was very neat.  We had gorgeous weather & the kids had a wonderful time.  Can't wait to go back next year!
