Botanischer Garten Jena

Botanischer Garten Jena is one of Germany's oldest botanical gardens, established in 1586. Located near the city center, it offers a peaceful escape with over 10,000 plant species from around the world. The garden is divided into thematic sections, including an alpine garden, a medicinal plant garden, and a systematic collection arranged by plant families. Several greenhouses house tropical and subtropical plants, cacti, and ferns. The garden is also home to a historic Ginkgo biloba tree planted in the 19th century. It serves as a research facility for Friedrich Schiller University, but is open to the public for leisurely strolls and education.
