egapark Erfurt
One of Germany's most significant horticultural monuments from the 1960s, egapark Erfurt is among the most important legacies of garden architecture from that era. It boasts a number of attractions, including the largest ornamental flowerbed in Europe, a rose garden, a Japanese rock and water garden, gardens dedicated to grasses and herbaceous perennials, tropical glasshouses with a butterfly house, the largest playground in Thuringia with a children's farm and 'water world', a sculpture garden featuring works by well-known artists and historical Cyriaksburg Castle with the German Horticultural Museum.
Desert and Jungle House Danakil
Danakil is located in the centre of the egapark, and combines two climate zones in one immense building – with water as the connecting element. Here lies the desert with a vast array of cacti and succulents of all shapes and sizes – and there stands the rain forest with water from below and above. And between them are the animals – meerkats, spiders, ants, bats and tropical butterflies. Correlations between the climate zones are shown through landscape scanners, soil sections or the Danakil app on the circular path and the search for water.
