Guided Story
Imagine walking through a garden that's been here for over two centuries. Look up and take in the towering trees that have stood the test of time. In spring, the blooming rhododendrons paint a vibrant picture. Listen to the gentle sound of the fountain near the art pavilion. Close your eyes, and you might hear echoes of the botanists who once worked here. Did you know this was once Bavaria's most important botanical garden? Behind you to the south is the grand Justizpalast. A bit further north, you'll find St. Boniface's Basilica. Take a moment to soak in the tranquil atmosphere.
