O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: More than 9,000 plant species are gathered in thematically designed areas, from sunny succulent beds to dense peatland plant plots. Three large greenhouses offer tropical heat, Mediterranean scents and cool mists, so you can experience plants from around the world up close.

Poudarki: In the alpine garden over 1,200 high-alpine species grow on just a few hundred square meters, clinging like tiny cushion-shaped rosettes to rocky slopes and smelling of mountain meadows. Researchers and students sometimes hold evening tours in which LED lights illuminate the tropical houses in blue, you smell the sweet scent of ripe figs and experts show unusual seeds under flashlights.
