The illustrated map presents the layout of Grugapark in a vibrant, colorful style that highlights its key features.

The map prominently displays botanical highlights, such as the Lehr- und Beispielgarten (Teaching and Demonstration Garden), alongside areas dedicated to rare plants and flower displays.
