Over the past three weeks, we have visited the following places:
- Botanical Garden, Ruhruniversität Bochum
- Zeche Zollverein, Essen (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)
- Aachen Cathedral (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)
- Cologne Cathedral (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)
- Botanical Garden, Hamburg (City)
- Botanical Garden, Hamburg (University)
- Fortress of Suomenlinna, Helsinki (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)
- Botanical Garden, Helsinki (City)
- Botanical Garden, Helsinki (University)
We were prevented from actually entering due to heavy rain… - Museumsinsel, Berlin (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)
Strictly speaking, we weren’t there this time – but we have been there plenty of times before… - Botanical Garden, Uppsala
- Linnéträdgården, Uppsala
This is actually the oldest botanical garden in Sweden, founded in 1655
We have also visited Stockholm, but were too exhausted after three weeks of travelling to make it to either the Botanical Garden or any of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites close to the city… But we’ll do better next time!
Many, many thanks to all our hosts on this journey, for their kindness and hospitality!
