Take time to enjoy the **oldest alpine garden in Styria**.

But in the quiet, frosty winter months, nature rests – no flowers open, no play of colors brightens the landscape. Everything waits patiently for the warmth that brings forth new life.

Experience the tranquility of nature to the fullest.
----------------------------------------------------

The Bad Aussee [Alpengarten](https://www.steiermark.com/de/steiermark/ausflugsziele/alpengarten-bad-aussee_p8014) was founded in 1913 by the then Pastor Dr. Selle at Ischlberg in a disused quarry. After more than 100 years of a changeful history, the **municipality of Bad Aussee** offers its visitors a **show garden** at the highest level.

In the well-kept facility, approximately 2,000 different **plant species** from around the world are cultivated on 12,000 m2. In the magical atmosphere of the former quarry, surrounded by a fascinating plant world, visitors dive into a sheltered world as it once was, and draw **strength from the tranquility** and **deceleration** they experience there.

**The nature-oriented design of the entire area provides inspiration for all plant enthusiasts for their own gardens at home.**

The extraordinary **playground** entertains both children and adults and rounds off the visit to the Alpengarten.

The **garden** also offers older individuals the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of native and exotic plants effortlessly on well-maintained paths.

**The gardening couple is happy to answer any questions related to gardening and plants.**

Guided tours and workshops are available upon request.
