Timeline
09:00
Start with a strong coffee and a small plate at Sax. It is open early and offers a calm spot to settle in before the day picks up.
09:20
Walk to the Botanical Garden. On this April day it opens at 14:00, so you will arrive well before the afternoon rush. Explore the greenhouses and the Neischl-Grotte stalactite cave to keep your walk dry and interesting.
09:45
Head to the aromatic garden nearby. Wander the intertwined paths that wind through the university’s research collection, the Herbarium Erlangense.
10:00
End your walk with a proper cup of coffee at Amir der Kaffemann. The expert roasts his own blends here, and the space is quiet enough for a final moment of reflection.
Local tip
The Botanical Garden is closed on Sundays from October to March. In April it is open Sunday afternoons, but arriving before the opening time ensures you have the space to yourself.
