Jenischpark

In the location's words:

Jenischpark in Hamburg-Othmarschen is a wonderful summer oasis right on the Elbe - a real haven of peace in the middle of the city. Originally laid out in the mid-18th century as an English landscape garden by Caspar Voght and expanded by Senator Jenisch from 1828, it now covers around 42 hectares - around 8 hectares of which are protected as the Flottbektal nature reserve.

You can picnic, read or simply relax on the wide meadows under centuries-old trees. A small stream meanders through the Flottbektal valley, surrounded by a protected wetland biotope with rare flora and fauna. With the classicist Jenisch House, the Ernst Barlach House and the Bargheer Museum, the park also has plenty to offer culturally. Particularly charming: the view from the historic "Eierhütte" over the Elbe - one of the most beautiful hidden spots for sunsets. A real insider tip for a relaxed summer afternoon.
