The Botanical Garden is located in Seefeld, which is perceived as an oasis with its 5.3 hectares of greenery. Around 7000 plant species are cultivated here, including a large collection of medicinal and useful plants as well as Mediterranean and alpine plants. A pond and water basins display a fascinating variety of aquatic plants. The three show houses with the themes of mountain forest, lowland rainforest and savannah are home to tropical species and are worth a visit at any time of year.
