O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Ovaj bivši augustinski samostanski vrt, star više od 600 godina, nadživio je carstva, kuge i dva svjetska rata kako bi ostao jedan od najstarijih botaničkih vrtova u Europi. Zbirka u stakleniku uključuje palmu staru 150 godina koja je toliko narasla da je morala probiti krov te se sada uzdiže dva kata iznad stakla.
Istaknuto: Iza neuglednog kamenog zida krije se željezni staklenik star 130 godina s golemom glicinijom koja se svakog travnja ovija oko okvira poput ljubičaste zmije. Većina posjetitelja jednostavno prođe pored ulaza, ostavljajući vijugave šljunčane staze i zasjenjene klupe gotovo praznima čak i sunčanim vikendima.
Insajderski savjeti
- Enter through the side gate on Schubertstraße instead of the main entrance to skip the small queue on busy days.
- The alpine garden section is often overlooked but has over 500 species of mountain plants from the Alps.
- Bring a small notebook for plant labeling sketches, the signage uses Latin botanical names perfect for learning.
- Visit just before closing time at 6 PM to catch the warm golden light filtering through the tropical greenhouse glass.
