Alpengarten Schachen, Alpine garden at Wetterstein massif, Germany
The Alpengarten Schachen holds over 1000 plant species from various mountain ranges, including specimens from the Alps and Himalayas at 1860 meters elevation.
Founded in 1901 as a branch of Munich Botanical Garden, the Alpengarten Schachen represents one of the earliest established alpine gardens in the Alps region.
The garden stands next to King Ludwig II's royal residence, combining botanical research with German architectural heritage in the Bavarian mountains.
Visitors can access the garden from June 15 to September 1, with daily opening hours from 8:00 to 17:00, requiring a mountain hike to reach the location.
The garden's location in a protected nature reserve allows researchers to study how alpine plants adapt to extreme weather conditions and climate changes.
