Heidelberg Botanical Garden — Attraction in Heidelberg

If I can get accepted, I would like to study here. I am in love with this botonic garden and of course Uni. It's like a dream and it's like out of a movie. You know, I've never been there before. I want to start and complete my Bachelor of bioscience there. Do people realize how much of a starter word "want" is? As soon as you want it and it will come true, all your efforts to get to that point are forgotten with the happiness of that moment until a problem. But continuity is ensured, again.

I ask myself, at every opportunity, whether I really want my goals. The answer I get is "I have to", always. Because the planet we live on will become uninhabitable in the future, if only we knew the exact dates, and I know that I want to be among the people who solve the problems that will emerge when the planet becomes uninhabitable. I want to be among the people who produce and create value, who enable the development of humanity and the formation of civilization. Although this sometimes feels like it's beyond my ability, I want to at least try. But if I could live the rest of my life without being under so much pressure and not thinking about what's going to happen to me, I would love to be a writer.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe it will actually happen, but I want to be ready anyway, as much as I can.

I can't help but doubt myself, I constantly let negative thoughts get out of my way, but I still try desperately. Am I really careless? Do I have to put up with feeling like I'm selling out to get a little bit stronger on this long-distance run? Or should I live the days that I can live without worrying about the future? Mankind will survive throughout its existence, thanks to the scientists who ensure its continuity and the thinkers before them. Individuals who ensure continuity become the group I want to be among. When entering this group, it does not immediately accept everyone who comes to the door and looks at it. It takes a lot of sweat, tears, and effort, and those who eventually bring something of value. Only those who meet these requirements. I'm totally in my fantasy world and I'm enjoying it. Maybe… I'm tired of saying "maybe". Living in my dream world is my comfort zone and these troubles are always a part of my closeness. It is extremely difficult to pull them out and toss them aside. They are the foundations that have kept me going so far. As everyone knows, it is not easy to get rid of the people, habits and emotions that people spend the most time with.

In conclusion, I'm not quite sure why I wrote all the hunks here. It felt good that there was someone who could read what I wrote in this place, which is only accessible to everyone. At the same time, the probability of them reading and getting to know me is pretty low. All reasons offer a logical...

I have to correct my review from 2022. For me, it is was indeed one of the best places in Heidelberg to enjoy nature and calmness in the city. I loved to come to the square in front of the green houses, sit there under the trees and read a book. It was used by students and patients from the hospitals for relaxing purposes as well. Especially, in the summer, it was a great escape from the crowded Neckarwiese. But, unfortunately, this all changed last year because someone had decided to build two new green houses right on this square. I cannot really understand - why ruin a great place existed for so many years?

---- old review from 2022 the best place to enjoy nature and calmness in the city, never full of people and always pleasant and interesting to watch how different...

Ein Naturerlebnis im Botanischen Garten Heidelberg

Der Botanische Garten Heidelberg ist ein wahres Juwel für alle, die Pflanzen und Natur lieben. Mein Besuch war durchweg beeindruckend und inspirierend – eine kleine Reise durch verschiedene Klimazonen und Pflanzenwelten mitten in der Stadt.

Besonders hervorzuheben sind die liebevoll gestalteten Gewächshäuser, die thematisch in unterschiedliche Zonen unterteilt sind. Eine dieser Zonen widmet sich trockenen Regionen – hier dominieren Kakteen und sukkulente Pflanzen, die mit ihrer Vielfalt und den ungewöhnlichen Formen sofort ins Auge fallen. Der Kontrast dazu ist das üppige, feuchtwarme Tropenhaus, in dem tropische Pflanzen in ihrer vollen Pracht zu sehen sind. Besonders beeindruckend: die imposante Höhe einiger tropischer Gewächse, die förmlich in den Himmel zu wachsen scheinen.

Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Bereich für Farne und kälteverträgliche Sträucher, der eine kühlere, fast mystische Atmosphäre vermittelt. Diese Pflanzen gedeihen in feuchteren, schattigeren Bereichen und bieten einen wunderbaren Kontrast zur tropischen Üppigkeit.

Auch die Außenanlagen sind sehr gepflegt und abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Besonders erwähnenswert ist die Farnschlucht, ein wunderschöner, ruhiger Ort mit moosbewachsenen Steinen, dichtem Farnwuchs und angenehm kühlem Klima. Daneben laden zahlreiche Baumarten, ein Bambusgarten und viele weitere liebevoll gestaltete Bereiche zum Verweilen und Entdecken ein.

Der Botanische Garten Heidelberg ist definitiv einen Besuch wert – nicht nur für Pflanzenfreunde, sondern für alle, die eine kleine Auszeit vom Alltag suchen. Ich komme auf jeden Fall...
