It's a pity that right next to the spring, a rather neglected-looking property spoils the beautiful impression.

Originally established in 1912 for natural history classes at Hof schools, the Botanical Garden is part of the Theresienstein (Theresienstein) complex. The garden is divided into two large areas: the geometrically designed Rosarium with its medicinal plant area, and the more landscaped area with its alpine garden, water lily pond, shade area, and extensive areas of magnificent perennials. The tranquility and floral splendor of the Botanical Garden is available to all visitors free of charge.

The botanical garden at Alte Plauener Straße 16 in Hof is a horticultural monument in the Theresienstein, one of the oldest parks in Germany created by citizens. Admission is free thanks to the support of the Förderverein Botanischer Garten and Theresienstein Hof e. V opening hours Apr 1 – Aug 31: 8:00 am – 8:00 pm Sep 1 - 31 Oct: 8:00 am - Dusk 1 Nov - 31 Mar: closed (Please leash dogs!) The Hofer Botanical Garden is known far beyond the national borders. There's a good reason for that. The individual quarters do not accommodate - as is common practice - many plants sorted by continents. With us, the gardeners have laboriously dragged tons of rock and recreated different landscapes from all over the world: On the one hand it is a barren acidic granite soil with large round boulders from the Fichtelgebirge, on the other hand the rugged mountains of the Alps were imitated and limestone slabs were set up vertically. A specially created stream creates moist soil, and a desert landscape was created with lots of quartz sand. In short — decades of craftsmanship and landscape gardening skills created this flourishing work of art, which is now more in demand than ever as an inner-city insect paradise. Speaking of stones! What is particularly striking in the Hof Botanical Garden is that around half of all quarters are built from large boulders. These all come from the area around Hof. Who cares? After all, Hof is the rocky corner of Bavaria.
