Planten un Blomen - by Michael Zuhlke on Google
Description
Planten un Blomen is a 45ha urban park with wide lawns, flower beds and small lakes with water fountains. It is part of a green belt that surrounded the center of Hamburg after the remparts were destroyed in the early 19th century (because they were no longer useful). There are some sculptures and several areas such as the Rose Garden and the Old Botanical Garden which includes a Japanese Garden with teahouse. The park is a popular recreation ground for residents; in the summer months there are water light shows, music and public children's theatre performances. In the winter, there is an ice rink.
Access & Transport
The park is located 400m to the northwest of Binnenalster (the Outer Alster Lake) and next to the Hamburg Dammtor train station with regional, express and suburban services (S3, S11, S21, S31). It is also next to Stephansplatz underground (U1) and bus station with more bus stops along Edmund-Siemers-Allee. and St Peterburg Str.
