Botanischer Garten
(Botanical Garden)

The old botanic garden, founded in 1812 in the city centre, was not longer able to exist after having slowly given up much of its grounds. Therefore it was moved to the outskirts of the town in 1914, next to the Nymphenburg palace grounds.
It contains 22 hectares, 4500 square metres of which are under the glass roofs of its various greenhouses.

The garden is especially beautiful in springtime, when all the trees are in full blossom and tulips and daffodils decorate the borders of the lily ponds. Later followed by the flowers of the rose garden and the Rhododendron grove. The Alpinum, where one can admire Edelweiss and gentian, is also worth seeing. Alongside the picturesque ponds squirrels caper under the diverse, well signposted trees.

The cafe-restaurant with a view over the rose garden and the "Schmuckhof" is open from Easter till October.
