Very nice landscape garden!! Usable in all seasons ** https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botanischer_Garten_Hanbury The Hanbury Botanical Garden (Italian: Giardini Botanici Hanbury) is an 18-hectare botanical garden in Italy. It is located on Capo Mortola near Mortola Inferiore, municipality of Ventimiglia, province of Imperia, in the Liguria region.

Nice single track, fun with some more technical sections. Very panoramic and, perhaps, less traveled than the classic marked trails on Montenero and its surroundings.

Fantastic botanical garden right by the sea. Even if you are not a botanist it is extremely interesting.

In 1867 Thomas Hanbury acquired 18 hectares of land and the Orengo villa on Cape Mortola, which is part of the Ventimiglia municipality. Due to the protected climatic location, the slope was overgrown with olive groves, grapevines and maquis. Thomas Hanbury decided to create a botanical garden here with the support of his brother Daniel Hanbury (1825–1875) and later the German gardener Ludwig Winter. From 1894 to 1897 Kurt Dinter was curator of the Botanical Garden. Thomas Hanbury died in 1907 and left the garden to his son Cecil. After the First World War, Lady Dorothy, Cecil Hanbury's wife, devoted herself to rebuilding the garden. In 1960 Lady Dorothy sold the garden to the Italian state. The Institute for Ligurian Studies tried to restore it, but the requirements far exceeded the financial resources of the institute, so that in 1987 the garden was taken over by the University of Genoa.
