Saxony: Castle administration warns of broken branches in parks

Dresden (dpa / sn) - Because of the long-lasting drought and the current extreme weather, there is a risk of branch breaks in Saxony's palace parks and gardens. The state palace administration in Dresden warned in a statement on Monday against spontaneous departures. "Green branches breaking off are an incalculable risk," said Claudius Wecke, head of the garden area of ​​the State Palaces, Castles and Gardens GmbH (SBG), and asked guests "to be particularly careful". It is hardly possible to take precautions through barriers, since the demolitions occur spontaneously and are not announced. Only the last copper beech in the pleasure garden of the Pillnitz palace park was cordoned off.
