The Loki-Schmidt-Garten awakens the child in all those who are inspired by the amazing plant species.

Strictly speaking, Hamburg’s botanical garden can be visited at two locations. A greenhouse is still located in its original location in today's “Planten un Blomen”. The actual garden with the large outdoor area was newly created in Osdorf at the end of the 1970s. On 23 October 2012, this “New Botanical Garden” was renamed in honour of Hannelore “Loki” Schmidt.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Blankenese & Elbe outskirts

The former fishing and seamen's village of Blankenese is situated directly on the Elbe. It is the perfect starting point for hopping on a sailing boat or on the Elbe ferry, or for taking long walks along the shore. Another highlight is a visit to the Treppenviertel (German for staircase quartier) with a spectacular view of the lighthouse and the Falkenstein shore.

Stadtpark Hamburg

The Hamburg Stadtpark with its more than 150 hectares is a real "multicultural location". On beautiful weekends, sometimes more than 200,000 people come here to enjoy sports, have a nice barbecue, make or listen to some music or simply relax.
In summer, the Stadtparksee becomes an open-air swimming pool - and apart from that, you can also enjoy pedal and rowing boats.

The planetarium in the former water tower is also always worth a visit: in addition to a unique journey through the universe, it regularly offers wonderful children's documentaries and chill out evenings.

The groves, bushes and embankments are home to a multitude of native and immigrated animal and plant species, and in summer the open-air stage invites you to interesting open-air concerts: from rock to folk, world-famous artists always like to come to "the park". In and around the Stadtpark there are of course also cafés and restaurants that await guests with snacks and delicacies. Very popular for evening events is the beer garden "Schumachers", which is located directly at the Stadtparksee outdoor pool. Further locations for relaxing are the beer garden "Landhaus Walter", "Café Sommerterrassen" and "Die Bucht".

Nature reserve "Die Reit"

Where Gose Elbe and Dove Elbe meet, lies the delightful landscape of the small nature reserve Die Reit. Past small lakes and ponds, you walk through primeval, swampy beech forest. From the Reit dike, your gaze sweeps over green meadows and waving reed beds.
