A small but nice garden to recharge your batteries, whether from everyday life or hospital life, I was very happy to walk through it and enjoyed it very much

The Botanical Garden of the University of Heidelberg is one of the oldest and most diverse botanical gardens in the world. It was founded in 1593 and is located on the Im Neuenheimer Feld campus. The garden covers an area of three hectares and is home to over 14,000 plant species from all over the world. Visitors can admire tropical orchids, bromeliads and succulents in the greenhouses. In the open air there is a fern gorge, an alpine garden and a heath area.

A sunken road is a path that has been cut into the surrounding terrain up to 10 metres deep by centuries of use by wagons and livestock as well as run-off rainwater. Wikipedia

In the ravine you can clearly see how the path dug into the soft layer of loess - a fertile, mineral-rich soil - that was blown in from the west during the cold periods of the Ice Age. The loess on the steep walls provides a habitat for wild bees and wasps. They made the holes in the walls.
