Off to the botanicals! Park guide to Gütersloh City Park

The city park with its botanical garden is Gütersloh's most beautiful attraction. Every year, 170,000 garden enthusiasts visit the award-winning park – and rightly so! One attraction follows another.

What awaits the amazed visitor:

• Mythical creatures and a piece of South Africa in the heart of East Westphalia
• Flamingos and amorous adventures on the ice meadow
• A botanical garden that (actually) isn't one at all.
• 60 unusual plants, made accessible through a clever color-coded system

City guide Matthias Borner and garden photographer Daniela Toman will take you on an entertaining stroll through "Gütersloh's green living room". Experience a nostalgic journey through history and an amusing whirlwind tour through 1,000 years of European garden art.
