Over
Korte feiten: Over 1,000 plant species from all over the world flourish here, creating a stunning mosaic of colors and textures. Butterfly gardens here often feature species that you won’t see anywhere else in Europe, fluttering freely among exotic blooms.
Hoogtepunten: Brightly colored butterflies, including rare species, dance just inches from your face, providing unbelievable photo opportunities. A small waterfall and natural pools hide secret nooks where you can sit and soak in the vibrancy of tropical plants.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as paths can be uneven but reward you with beautiful views.
- Bring a macro lens if you want close-up shots of butterflies and tiny flowers.
- Avoid weekends to enjoy a quieter, more intimate experience with the wildlife.
- Don’t miss the hidden waterfall area for a refreshing break and magical photos.
