다르겔린 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A beautiful gem in the Hanseatic city. The greenhouses are all interconnected and house some botanical treasures. The outdoor area is beautifully maintained and invites you to take a short stroll. A visit is definitely worth it! 🌿

The Botanical Garden and Arboretum in Greifswald are maintained by the University of Greifswald. The Botanical Garden is located west of the train station and the historic city center, the Arboretum is about two kilometers southeast of Greifswald center, near Berthold-Beitz-Platz. In 1763, a medicinal plant garden was established between today's main university building and the ramparts. In the course of the 19th century, the university campus in the southern city center was greatly expanded, so that the Botanical Garden became increasingly restricted. According to plans by Julius Münter, a new garden with greenhouses was completed in 1886 on an area of two hectares at the current location of the Botanical Garden in Fettenvorstadt. Due to its size, the newly designed Botanical Garden did not have enough space for trees, so in 1934 a second location for trees, the Arboretum, was founded on Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Straße. Plans to merge the two locations on the arboretum site were not realized, so that to this day both locations exist separately from each other. The historic listed greenhouses from 1885 are located on Münterstrasse. The palm greenhouse with warm and cold house in particular is of particular national importance as an individual monument, also due to its rarity. The plants are sorted according to geographical and ecological criteria. Admission is free, but donations are requested. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanischer_Garten_und_Arboretum_der_Universit%C3%A4t_Greifswald

At the roundabout in Potthagen you will find the free parking lot. A trash can is also available.

We are along the canal to shorten the hike.

North of the Söllkensee is the Plagens lime tree. It is said that the forest warden Plagens planted this tree in 1933 and built a bench next to it to enjoy his retirement here.

The Söllkensee was created in the 19th century by peat extraction in "Küsterbäcks Moor", a meltwater channel of the Greifswald terminal moraine. Today it is a natural monument and spawning ground for common toads and moor frogs. In the north-eastern part, the new siltation process is clearly visible. A cotton grass peat bog has formed here, which is partly forested with downy birches.

The path runs on unpaved as well as paved paths.

The benches you find here are old and no longer usable. Don't forget mosquito spray! Nevertheless, the area around the Sölkensee is very beautiful.
