Umweltgarten

You might be surprised by the story behind this tranquil spot. Right in the heart of Neubiberg, nestled between the S-Bahn tracks and the outer main road, lies the Umweltgarten, a green oasis. This peaceful haven is more than just a playground for families. It is a powerful testament to community spirit and a passion for nature. Back in 1984, the Neubiberg city council made a bold decision to transform a former sports field into an ecological wonderland. With the help of local environmental groups, experts, and dedicated citizens, this dream became a reality. In just three short years, the Umweltgarten blossomed into a vibrant ecosystem, complete with diverse biotopes and a safe haven for endangered species. One of the most popular attractions within the Umweltgarten is the animal enclosure. Here, you’ll find a heartwarming collection of farm animals, including chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, and even ponies. They live together in a harmonious community, just like on a traditional farm. The Umweltgarten isn’t just about animals. Over 20 meticulously designed nature-inspired habitats invite you to explore the delicate balance between plants and animals. Take a stroll through the flowerbeds, wander along the meadows, and marvel at the diverse flora and fauna. This is a perfect place for a quiet picnic or a leisurely afternoon of exploration. But there is more to it: Dedicated to environmental education, the Umweltgarten offers fascinating tours that unveil the intricate workings of nature. Every year, over 100 school classes, kindergarten groups, and adults find their way to this inspiring space to learn about the delicate ecosystems within the Umweltgarten. And for those eager to delve deeper, there’s a special ‘Ökoschule’, a schoolhouse dedicated to environmental education. Here, you can find a library overflowing with information on nature and the environment. So come and discover the Umweltgarten. It’s a place where nature, education, and community come together to create a truly special haven.
