In no case, I do not want to advise you to visit the Botanical Garden if you have a couple of days on Berlin. But if you are stuck in Berlin for a long time, sick of museums, shopping is also not in the plans, dragged on the nature of laziness, then a very worthy alternative to the Botanical Garden can be. It is located in a rather quiet and respectable area of Dale. There is a line S-Bahn S1 and the stop is called "Botanical Garden". Kaiser planned to make not the German Oxford, not that Cambridge, but the First World War began, then the revolution and Kaiser had to move to Holland. It is said that he continuously chopped trees there, at the beginning of the ax, and then, to the horror of the Dutch, chainsaw.
In the garden 15 themed buildings-greenhouses OK. 6 thousand square meters. m. Shared Square.
Each of them has become an outstanding orchiterate building of his time in the Council. Well, the artistic style of structures is historicism. They are numbered by letters from A to P and pass one to another: large tropical, begonia, tropical useful plants, orchids and pita plants of wet tropics, tropical and subtropical ferns, pineapple, succulent Flora Africa, cacti and succulent Flora America, South Africa, Plants - insects on insects and plants of the southern hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand, Camellia and Azalia, House Victoria and aquatic plants, Mediterranean and Canara.
The sights of Orangers include a collection of orchids and predatory insectivorous plants, giant leaves of pita, cacti. In a tropical house, 25 meters high, where the Giangsky bamboo grows under their feet running and smashingly birds. Sago is very old - he is 160 years old. And Velvichia is generally the only similar plant that gives seeds in botanical gardens. And in the Mediterranean, they even conduct marriage registry ceremonies. It is assumed that guests and the youngsters are then grayly walk along the gardens tracks, they will make romantic photos in arbors over lakes ... So if you are lucky, then you can simplify the bride. In the garden itself there are romantic pavilion, arbors and lakes.
The collection is estimated at 22 thousand plants by 43 hectares. There are of course Museum and Herbarium. True, in the ottlenchia from the more civilized Batanic Garden Pishandegarten, in Frankfurt on Main, with a cafe there is tens. So water and food is better taken with you. By the way, in the garden there is a sculpture of the modernist climate and a few more sculptures of famous artists. By the way, by the way there is a huge bunker, but after the Second World War, the entrance to it blew up and poured.
Created this garden German botanist engroler between 1897-1910. By the way, he is buried there.
If you get tired of the pavilions (in the end, who likes to stick in the desert or in wet tropics for a long time), then you can wander around the garden. There are different zones, there is even a Siberia in which Antonovsky apples grow. If the berries are critting, then it is impossible to drag them, but if no one sees, then you can restress a barberry, to bump a pair of apples ... In general, it is funny to hang up there. And at the end you can buy seeds in a small shop .... and then the day farewell not quite in vain!
