The 7 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Erlangen, Bavaria
About 10 miles north of Nuremberg, Erlangen is the home of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-University), founded in 1742. Just over 100,000 people live here, about a third of whom are involved with the university; about another third work for the Siemens corporation. Bergkirchweih, Erlangen’s annual festival - akin to Munich’s Oktoberfest - opens in a different beer cellar every year and is attended by over a million people in its twelve-day run around Pentecost.

You can enter the botanical garden through a gate in Schlossgarten opposite Kollegienhaus. The city centre and a cafe are nearby. It is a 5 to 10 minutes’ walking distance to the train station. From outside, the garden looks green only. One might think it is not worth a visit. But it is!!! If you love plants, you can spend hours on end here and it will not get boring at all. The place is very romantic with many high old trees from all over the world. The winding paths lead you from one section to the next. In some spots you have to decide in which direction to go first. Often that decision is quite difficult because you see interesting plants everywhere. Today it was very hot for Franconian weather conditions. The botanical garden had the same effect as a fine air condition. There was a lot of shadow where people were sitting on the benches and reading. The sunlight coming through the green leaves of the trees created a lot of photo motives. Flowers in bloom seemed transparent. Between the shrubs there are several ponds where frogs were croaking. In the water basins exotic water lilies were in bloom. The palm trees and cacti made you believe you were in the Canary Islands. I felt transported back to the days when I was a student at Erlangen University and spent part of my free time in the botanical garden to read and learn in peace. Thus it was a sentimental journey today... The grotto was not open but that was not a big problem because of all the beauty around. All around the garden you can also find sculptures of different types. A big part of the Garden presents medicinal plants.
