The highlights of the Christmas Garden Mainau Island 2024 have been decided! From November 19 to January 6 the island will be transformed into an enchanting sea of glitter. On the three-kilometer-long new audiovisual tour of the island, artfully staged light magic can be experienced in the fourth season of the Christmas Garden Mainau Island.
Managing Director Countess Bettina Bernadotte: "This year, the Christmas Garden on Mainau Island offers a magical mix of new light installations and popular classics. A special offer is the family days at reduced prices. On these days there are great surprises for children that bring the magic of this festive season to life."
Managing Director Count Björn Bernadotte: “For the first time, our palm house is part of the route and a stop there is always worthwhile: Enjoy a warming drink or a fine speciality together with your loved ones in a cozy, festive atmosphere in front of the exotic of majestic palm trees - a unique Christmas experience.”

Yesterday at Mainau Island was the second Mainau Climate Dialogue, count Björn Bernadotte gave a speech:
"Today's Mainau Climate Dialogue was all about the forward-looking topic of "sea thermal energy". Experts at the Comturey explored questions such as how much potential there is in using heat from bodies of water such as Lake Constance, what opportunities and challenges sea thermal energy brings with it, and where and how it is already being used in the region. This year's Mainau Climate Dialogue was organized by the Ministry for the Environment, Climate and Energy Sector of Baden-Württemberg in cooperation with the Lennart Bernadotte Foundation."

Count Björn Bernadotte: "Our goal is to appeal even more to people's emotions."
Is Mainau getting old? "Yes," says countess Bettina Bernadotte, whose family is now in its fifth generation on the island. But she adds with a smile: "Despite its age, Mainau Island is up to date, more than ever a place for relaxation, for everyone to recharge their batteries and for meeting people - and all this in the middle of Europe. I don't think that all of this will ever be outdated. We are a family business, and each generation accompanies the island for a part of its journey."
