This gem has existed in the heart of the chemical landscape in Leverkusen for over a hundred years: the Japanese Garden in Leverkusen. It was laid out in 1912 within the Carl Duisburg Park, which was named after its initiator, the Bayer CEO, Prof. Carl Duisberg.
It goes past the mighty trees of the well-kept park landscape until you stand in front of a red bridge, the entrance to the Japanese garden.
Water features, streams, waterfalls and last but not least the Japanese gates and bridges as well as a Chinese pavilion enchant visitors on around 15,000 square meters.
But the visit is not only worth a trip for people, even the little nutrias obviously feel at home in the many different waters - at least 3,000 square meters of water surface.
