Koch's garden

Koch's Garden is a green space in the Old Town district of Bratislava, shaped by several levels with pathways, terraces, and varied plant species. The site uses the slope of the land to create different areas planted with trees, shrubs, and other elements.

A doctor established this place in the 1930s as part of his medical facility, combining treatment with nature. The connection between medical care and green space reflected the thinking of that time about health and recovery.

The space is named after its founder and shows how green areas in the city serve as places where visitors can rest among buildings. People use the different sections for walking and sitting under trees.

Access is through Bartoňová Street and the grounds are easy to walk around. The different levels involve stairs and paths, so wear comfortable shoes.

Remains of an old swimming pool from the medical facility are still visible today, showing the place's earlier purposes. This structure reminds visitors that people once came here for recovery.
