Beautiful habitat for the beaver.

Beautiful park and ideal for running, you also meet many other joggers here.

Unfortunately I couldn't see any.

A great park that definitely invites you to run. At the end there is also a career if you prefer to do laps.

As an important animal builder, the beaver has a great influence on the design of the landscape and constantly creates new habitats for other species. Due to changes such as the increasing road and rail infrastructure, the rodent lost a lot of territory. In Baden-Württemberg the beaver population is recovering, while in neighboring Alsace the beaver is on the red list of endangered species.

The Orangery Park is the oldest park in the city, the park is very well maintained and invites you to linger.

ORANGERY The Orangery district in the north of the city has a rich cultural heritage in which nature plays an important role. Since the 18th century, the Parc de l'Orangerie, with its English garden, mini zoo and bowling alley, has been Strasbourg's favorite place for walks. THE JOSÉPHINE PAVILION - HOMAGE TO THE EMPRESS In the classic French avenue park from 1692, the Orangery building was built between 1804 and 1807 according to the plans of the architect Valentin Boudhors. The city wanted the building to provide dignified accommodation for Count Johann Reinhard III's orange tree collection. of Hanau-Lichtenberg, which decorated his castle in Bouxwiller until the French Revolution. As a reminder of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais's stays in Strasbourg, the orangery was named after her. After a fire in 1968, the building was rebuilt true to the original. The two sphinxes sitting opposite each other at the entrance come from the gardens of Klinglin Castle in Illkirch, which were redesigned in the 18th century. ENGLISH GARDEN, ZOO AND BOWLING ALLEY Under the influence of Jean Frédéric de Turckheim and Georges Frédéric Schutzenberger, two Strasbourg mayors who were open to currents from England, the park became a romantic English landscape garden with avenues that, following the example of nature, surround a cleverly constructed "disorder" meander. On the occasion of the International Industrial Exhibition, which took place in the Orangery in 1895, the area of the park was doubled and idyllic half-timbered houses such as the Buerehiesel, pleasure palaces such as the Cupid Temple and water features with bridges, fountains and streams were created. Two sculptures are particularly worth mentioning: the traditional “Gänseliesel” and the poetic “Puits voleur”, designed by Patrick Bailly-Maître-Grand in 1994. The small zoo is located in the west of the park near the bowling alley, which is located on the site of a former restaurant. https://int.strasbourg.eu/de/orangerie
