    Opposite the Museum Meadow - directly adjacent to the castle wall - the city of Siegen put a 10-meter-wide flower bed on a terrace to the herb growing, it is accessed by a narrow path.
    On three levels, beds were set that take into account the different site requirements of the 53 herb and medicinal plant species. At the very bottom, a humid site with an integrated swamp zone was created to grow herbs such as comfrey and watercress. On the second level, a moderately moist location, for example, peppermint or lovage should thrive. In the top level of the garden, which is designed accordingly dry to grow Mediterranean and drought-loving herbs such as rosemary and sage. Above the beds is a terrace with a comfortable wooden bench, which invites you to linger. All plants are labeled with their botanical and German names, so that everyone can inform themselves about the individual plants and get an idea.

        A great herb garden where the herbs are labeled. There is a comfortable seating area to linger.
