The Titan Arum, a very rare plant in Germany, blooms every 3 years and for just 2 days. You can admire it in the Botanical Garden in Bayreuth. But the Botanical Garden also has a lot to offer! A large area offers a variety of trees and plants from all continents. Benches all along the paths invite you to linger. The greenhouses are second to none!

Picturesquely situated pond fed by the Talmühlbach. Fantaisie Castle towers above it.

The pond is in the valley between the castle and the victory tower on the Talmühlbach. Upstream you come to the Salamandertal. Walk down the stream through the park to the sports field.
