Entering a white birch forest, swirls of floral-pattern paths carry visitors to the gate of the Garden of the Giant, welcoming them to the enchanted world of Swarovski Kristallwelten.

Visitors are enveloped by layers of sculpted-earth ripples, which play with one’s sense of proportion like Gulliver in the land of Lilliput.

Through the forest’s dappled light, drifts of the shimmering crystal cloud guide visitors to a mirror pool, where the dark water holds reflections of a million silent stars.

Trails of twinkling fireflies guard a descent into the magical pool.

When the Foehn wind calls, the clouds release a dazzling display of rainbow prisms, a fleeting glimpse of crystals’ secrets in the Garden of the Giant
