The hidden alternative to the Botanic Garden in the city centre…read more We stumbled across this garden by accident, and I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I stepped through the gates. The Aromagarten is part of the Botanic Gardens belonging to the university and it's definitely worth the walk from the centre. A great place for a relaxed stroll on your own or with someone else, there are various paths leading through the area, with plenty of benches every here and there. Definitely a quiet spot to sit or walk during summer (well, april to october). Sadly it's only open til 6pm, but it's definitely one of my favourite new "secret" spots in Erlangen! Bottom line: * Great place to relax... * ...go for a walk or sit and relax with a book... * ...hidden away and relatively unknown... * ...you'll definitely find some piece and quiet here (unlike the crowded Schlossgarten)!
