The Herrenhausen Mountain Garden is one of the most important botanical gardens in Europe. Located in the centre of Hanover, it presents an impressive world of plants that takes visitors on a botanical journey of discovery - seasonally changing, internationally inspired and scientifically cultivated.
As soon as you enter the garden, the special atmosphere of this historic place becomes apparent. What began as a kitchen garden in the 17th century is now a globally recognised showcase for plant culture. Tropical plants from Africa, South America and Asia thrive in the greenhouses - from brightly coloured orchids to exotic cacti.
Around 11,000 different plant species make the Herrenhausen Mountain Garden into a living archive of botanical treasures. Special themed areas such as the desert house, the rainforest pavilion or the historic palm house invite visitors to view nature from new perspectives.
One of the most powerful experiences in the Berggarten all year round is the orchid house - with one of the largest collections in Europe. Seasonal flower arrangements, flowering perennial beds and impressive groups of shrubs emphasise the high level of garden art for which Herrenhausen is renowned.
In addition to classic plant species, rare specimens threatened with extinction can also be found here. This makes the garden not only aesthetically valuable, but also an important place for nature conservation.
If you are looking for a quiet retreat or want to take a closer look at the plant world, you will find what you are looking for here. Information boards, themed tours and changing exhibitions create space for sustainable knowledge transfer. The garden is aimed at adults with an interest in nature, garden culture and relaxation away from everyday life.
In addition, the Herrenhausen Mountain Garden also with the historic Guelph mausoleum, which is embedded in the park. It combines garden architectural flair with regional history.
