Dear visitors,
Roof maintenance work is required on the Botanical Institute building. Unfortunately, the iris garden has to be temporarily closed to protect you from falling objects. If you would like to see other beautiful irises in full bloom, we currently recommend a visit to the Alpinum and the Ecological Department. Thank you for your understanding!
