巴塞爾公園與花園

Parks and Gardens

Basel’s green spaces range from the historic University Botanical Garden, established in 1589, to the expansive Kannenfeldpark, a former cemetery turned into the city's largest recreational area. The Merian Gärten in the south offer specialized collections like the Rhododendron Valley and one of Europe’s largest iris displays. For wildlife, Tierpark Lange Erlen provides habitats for regional species, while urban spots like Voltamatte and Erlenmattpark showcase modern landscape architecture and community-focused design.
