The botanical garden was opened in 1884 and is located north of the city center in close proximity to the Kiel Fjord, the art gallery and the university clinics. Thanks to the initiative of the Association for the Preservation and Promotion of the Old Botanical Garden, the garden still exists today and in its entirety is a natural and cultural monument.

The approximately 2.5 hectare hilly area is characterized by a partially very old wooded stock of unique beauty, characterized by exotic plants such as the coastal sequoia and one of the oldest and tallest primeval sequoia trees on the European mainland, an important ginkgo tree, a rare Amur cork tree , a sizeable Chinese sura tree and a group of bald cypress trees over 20 meters high.

Winding paths lead the visitor to various small biotopes, past slopes with a multitude of shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tubers with, especially in spring, extraordinary flowers. Since the association was founded, more than a hundred interesting and beautiful trees have been planted. These include magnolias, Japanese ornamental cherries, viburnum and rhododendrons, Japanese crescent fir, Japanese umbrella fir and Chinese spit fir.

A viewing pavilion with a wrought iron crown was built on the highest point of the garden in 1891. The octagonal brick building offers a beautiful view over the garden and also over the Kiel Fjord from its viewing platform.

Old trees and rhododendron bushes that bloom in different colors in spring. Also a nice view of the Kiel Fjord.

Instead of walking along the street, I recommend walking through the beautiful, very well-kept Old Botanical Garden - always a feast for the eyes 🌺 😊...
