The garden was created in 1923 and in addition to what has been planted over time, it also contains several majestic old oak and beech trees from before the garden was built. The trees form a kind of canopy in the garden and contribute to the wondrous, magical feel that characterises Forsthaven.

A city centre destination

Forstbotanisk Have is no further away from the city than you can easily put on your trainers or hiking boots and head out. The garden is located in the south of Aarhus, hidden by Marselisborg Castle and Castle Park and Mindeparken, which are ideal to visit when you're in the area. Nature and city dwellers alike can have a great experience in some very special, different natural surroundings.
