Botanical Garden

Discover the tropical rainforest, admire the floral splendour of the Alps or simply relax on a bench: as soon as you enter the Botanical Gardens in Halle (Saale), you are surrounded by the calming aura of nature with a variety of around 12,000 plant species from all over the world. The garden was the first of its kind in former Prussia around 300 years ago and is now part of Halle University. Even back then, medical students familiarised themselves with medicinal plants here. From May to October, the green idyll now invites all nature lovers to take a tour through the rich flora of the grounds and greenhouses.
