Hohenheim Gardens, Botanical garden and park in Stuttgart, Germany.
Hohenheim Gardens is a botanical garden and park located on the University of Hohenheim campus with several distinct sections. The site includes a main botanical garden, an exotic plant section, a landscape garden, and greenhouses housing tropical plants, carnivorous species, and specialized collections.
The site was established between 1772 and 1793 when Duke Carl Eugen transformed an estate into a modern garden and created the exotic plant section. This period established the basic layout that remains visible today.
The name reflects Duke Carl Eugen's vision, who built this place to showcase exotic plants from around the world. Visitors today can see how the layout and plant groupings still reflect that historical passion for botanical discovery.
The grounds are easily accessible on foot with pathways connecting the different sections. Plan to spend several hours if you want to see both the outdoor gardens and the greenhouses.
The grounds contain around 180 tree species recognized by the German Dendrological Society as remarkable specimens. Some of these trees are over 200 years old, making them among the oldest living things at the site.

Baden-Württemberg offers a wide range of destinations beyond the usual routes. The region includes medieval castle ruins such as Hohentwiel, Hohenbaden, and Yburg, medieval monasteries like Maulbronn and Alpirsbach, and palaces such as Lichtenstein and Weikersheim. Geological formations shape the landscape: the Blautopf displays a karst spring with distinctive water color, the Wutach Gorge cuts through limestone layers, and Wimsen Cave lies in the Danube Valley. Numerous waterfalls including Urach Falls and Menzenschwand Falls complement the natural offerings. The region combines historical and contemporary elements. The Wildline suspension bridge spans the Enz Valley, the Rottweil Test Tower serves as an elevator testing facility and viewing platform, and the historic Sauschwänzlebahn railway runs on a track featuring loops and tunnels. Parks such as Hohenheim Gardens and Rosenstein Park offer botanical collections. The market square in Freudenstadt displays typical Black Forest architecture, and the Neubulach Silver Mine provides insights into historic mining operations. These destinations allow detailed exploration of the region's nature, history, and engineering.
