هانوفر الزهور

On the River Leine one can find the historic city of Hannover, home to several medieval castles and the beautiful Herrenhausen Gardens. Meticulously planned and landscaped, these gardens are still considered the heritage of the former kings of Hannover. Dating back to the 17th century it contains one of the tallest fountains in Europe, but it is the gardens that keep visitors returning throughout the year. The Great Garden draws visitors towards the fountain that is surrounded by an assortment of dark green hedges. Along the way one can see marigolds, daisies, carnations, roses and tulips depending on the season. The Berggarten was originally used as a vegetable garden in the 1600’s, but now it is home to mulberries and other exotic plants. There is even a tropical rainforest in the garden where one can find orchids, bromeliads, lilies along with an assortment of colorful butterflies. There is also Welfengarten which is now located in front of the city’s university, and its large green spaces and quiet reflecting pond makes it a popular place for students to relax and study. Along with the stately trees one can also find several native flowers which include colorful gerbera in the summertime.
