Apple Gathering Occurs in Meining Castle Moat Today
On a sunny day in August 2025, the city of Meiningen will open its gates to an unforgettable apple-picking event. On Saturday, the 30th of August, from 10 am to sunset, visitors will have the unique opportunity to pick apples from the trees growing in the castle moat.
This event is not an organised affair by the city of Meiningen, but rather a chance for anyone interested to participate. Access to the apple trees will be granted via the former entrance of the Schlossstuben, with no restrictions on participation.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own ladders, picking aids, and containers, as no equipment will be provided. The apples picked can be taken for free and are reported to be delicious.
While the event is open to all, it's important to note that participants are responsible for their own safety. The city of Meiningen assumes no liability for any accidents that may occur during the apple-picking activity. Visitors are advised to treat the trees carefully, avoiding any damage to branches.
This event is a great opportunity for visitors to experience nature and enjoy local produce. With no specific guidelines or requirements mentioned, individuals can pick apples at their own pace, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all.
The location of the apple-picking event remains within the castle moat within the city of Meiningen. So, mark your calendars for August 30, 2025, and join in this exciting event. It's a chance to connect with nature, enjoy the fresh air, and savour some delicious apples – all in the heart of Meiningen!
