Hiking
The first botanical garden in St.Gallen was created in 1878 in the city park north of today's Nature and Art Museum. It was founded by the museum's first director, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Wartmann, who supplemented the objects in the museum with a living plant collection. When most of the garden had to make way for the construction of the Historical Museum in 1918, he found an alternative location around what is now the University of Education.
