On the eastern edge of the park is the New Botanical Garden, which replaced the pollution-plagued old one near the main railway station in the early 20th century. The garden is home to an extensive collection of herbs, Alpine flowers, trees and a water lily pond. The Arboretum at the west end of the gardens is cleverly landscaped to resemble different climatic regions of the world with their appropriate flora. You can experience pine forest, Arctic tundra, heath and moorland, desert dunes, steppes and Alpine country all in one stroll. Round off your visit with refreshments between potted palm trees at the Schloßcafé next to the palace.
