egapark

The egapark Erfurt is the most important garden monument of the 1960s in Germany and is one of the most important examples of garden architecture from this period. Throughout the changing seasons, the 15,000 m² of gardens bloom from spring to fall - on generous areas of alternating flora and in 20 unique themed gardens. Europe's largest ornamental flowerbed, covering 6000 m², is an outstanding highlight of the egapark design. Other attractions at egapark Erfurt include the rose garden, the Japanese rock and water garden, the grass and perennial gardens, the largest playground in Thuringia with a children's farm and water area, the sculpture garden with sculptures by renowned artists and the historic Cyriaksburg castle with the German Horticultural Museum.

A desert and jungle experience unique in Germany awaits you in the Danakil. On the trail of water, you will cross deserts and tropics and discover lots of exciting information about how plants and animals have adapted to extreme living conditions. Meerkats, ants, bats and tropical butterflies look forward to your visit. Adventure is calling here!

Cycling is not permitted anywhere on the site. Bicycle racks are located in front of the park entrance.

Dogs carried by persons with severe disabilities are permitted. For this purpose, a severely disabled person's pass with the mark \B\"; \"BL\" or \"aG\" must be shown at the entrance. Service dogs, ambulance and rescue dogs are allowed on the egapark grounds. Please register at the visitor center.

Danakil - Desert and jungle house

The new desert and jungle house is located on the grounds of the egapark in Erfurt. Water plays a central role here. It is impressively shown how the lack or abundance of water affects flora and fauna. While the competition for the sun's rays rages in the warm, humid rainforest, the desert dwellers crave water.

Danakil is an experience for all senses. Many connections between the two climate zones are shown by landscape scanners, soil sections with explanations or a specially developed app on the circular route and the search for water.
