    Working at Bayer, this is one of the many treats as an employee. In the lunch break, have a stroll in the park laid out by Carl Duisberg himself 100 years ago. The tranquility and beauty of the selected flora also attracts many tourists - the garden is open to the public as well.

    Ein toller Park für alle Altersstufen, alles flach und gut zu begehen. Auch für Rollatoren geeignete Wege. Leider halten sich nicht alle Radfahrer an das Verbot. Ist natürlich für kleinere Kinder und ältere Personen eher unangenehm. Der japanische Garten selbst ist ein Juwel. Besonders während der Blüte eine Pracht, eigentlich unbeschreiblich.

    A very cozy park. Close to Bayer. As I understood - this park was created by this company as an aspect of social responsibility of business. An extremely charming block of Japanese landscape culture. when we were blooming camellias. Beautiful lawns with grass. In another corner, a luxurious casino and Versailles style with boxwood walkways and statues. Many families with children. They conduct photo shoots in Japanese costumes.

    One of the best if not the best Japanese gardens outside Japan. It is so spacious, over 15.000m2 and covering everything from torii gates to stone lanterns, bridges, statuettes, gorgeous scenery and perfect arrangement. Hidden in the end of the park, it is a true gem near Köln.

    Der Japanische Garten, der inmitten des Bayerwerks liegt, geht auf Carl Duisberg zurück und wurde bereits im Jahr 1912 angelegt. Auch heute noch ist der Japanische Garten ein schöner und kleiner Park, in dem man besonders im Frühjahr und Herbst die Blüten- und Farbpracht der verschiedenen Blumen und Bäume betrachten kann. Sehenswert ist auch das japanische Teehaus sowie die Teiche und die Mikadobrücke. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos, ebenso gibt es im Umfeld ausreichend Parkplätze. Wer noch einen größeren Spaziergang anschließen möchte, kann durch den angrenzenden Carl-Duisberg-Park laufen.

    Die Anlage ist sehr schön gemacht. Aktuell kann man dort auch Nutris beobachten, die im Wasser Schwimmen. Schön wäre es, wenn es in der Anlage auch Bänke zum sitzen gäbe, dann könnte man das noch mehr genießen. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos.

    Herrlicher Park. Zu jeder Jahreszeit. Es gibt auch viele schöne Wiesen drum herum, viele Sitz Möglichkeiten zum verweilen und um Ruhe zu genießen. Der Park ist immer eine schöne Abwechslung für Groß und Klein und zu jeder Jahreszeit ein Erlebnis. Herrliche Natur viele, Tiere zu sehen,viele schöne Teiche mit tollen Fischen zu sehen. Wenn man mal eine Auszeit vom Alltag braucht und Ruhe genießen möchte lohnt sich ein Besuch dort auf jeden Fall.

    Ich fand den Spaziergang am Wochenende herrlich. beruhigend… befreiend.. wenn da nicht diese Bayer Werke direkt zu sehen wären.. das macht die Aussicht irgendwie kaputt.

    (Translated by Google) "Opening times ... may vary", at the same time "Open" is reported - is a little poor; if wg. Corona is closed, and that's it, then the person responsible should like to add a "closed". The system itself is a fine one, but it is not to be visited - unclean. (Original) "Öffnungszeiten ... können abweichen", gleichzeitig wird "Geöffnet" gemeldet - ist ein wenig dürftig; wenn wg. Corona geschlossen ist, und das ist es, dann dürfte der Verantwortliche gerne ein "Geschlossen" einpflegen. Die Anlage selbst ist eine feine, nur zu besichtigen ist sie nicht - unfein.

(Original) Wir sind extra nach Leverkusen gefahren, weil hier keine Information hinterlegt ist, aber der Garten ist geschlossen. Danke für 2,5 Stunden verlorene Lebenszeit.

    I love this place. Although, closed due to Corona, however the park surrounding it is marvelous. Very serene environment with a lot of views to different animals like tortoise, fish, ducks etc. I love every bit of the time I spent here.

  • 4/5 N M. 5 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Schöner Ort, um sich kurz in einen normalerweise weit entfernten Land zu wähnen. Am WE etwas überlaufen. Auch sind Hunde nicht erlaubt.. schade.., aber kann ich verstehen, wenn Hundebesitzer ihren Hundekot nicht mitnehmen.. Auch Nutrias halten sich dort auf.

  • 5/5 Heinrich O. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    Am 31.12. wenige Personen dort. Schön und gleichzeitig sehr ruhig. Idealer Ort um dem Jahreswechsel entgegen zu sehen.

  • 5/5 Mo A. 5 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    I was captivated by its beauty, so mesmerized that time simply slipped away. If you find yourself nearby, don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in this stunning garden!

  • 5/5 Adam K. 8 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    I highly recommend walking the larger park with big trees and various wooded trails in addition to the Japanese area. I also recommend making a stop here if you are driving between Köln and Dusseldorf. It's windy today and the trees are waving all around, air so fresh.

  • 5/5 T. M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) So beautiful and has been for so many years. I like to go there again and again. In the meantime we have a lot of great memories of the garden and the outside environment. A nice place for photography, picnics, walks and relaxation. Even if it is sometimes well attended, you can find a quiet place for yourself. I can only recommend. There is also enough parking space there when it is not on weekdays. (Original) So schön und das schon seit so vielen Jahren. Gehe dort immer wieder gerne hin. Mittlerweile haben wir echt viele schöne Erinnerungen an den Garten und auch der äußeren Umgebung. Ein schöner Platz für Fotografie, Picknicken ,Spaziergänge und Erholung. Auch wenn es manchmal gut besucht ist findet man doch ein ruhigen Platz für sich. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Parkplätze gibt es dort auch genügend, wenn es nicht gerade wochentags ist.

    It is definitely worth a visit, a small piece of Japan, a good place for a walk or for sitting staring at the nature

  • 2/5 Anja S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If the garden is closed, why is every TG displayed here on Google that it is open from morning on ??? Why are there such searches ????? Other locations can do that too ... It was nice there, but I can only enjoy the Japanese Garden when it's open and I don't have to walk around outside (Original) Wenn der Garten geschlossen hat, wieso wird hier bei Google jeden TG angezeigt, dass er ab morgens geöffnet ist??? Wozu gibt es denn solche Suchen????? Andere Locations schaffen das doch auch...War ganz nett dort, aber den Japanischen Garten kann ich nur genießen, wenn er offen Ist, und ich nicht draußen herum laufen muss

  • 5/5 debora r. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to chill and restore your energy, it's quiet and peaceful, there are beautiful fish and the trees are marvelous. During winter time it's also a nice place to visit although, the trees aren't as pretty as they usually are during the summer, it's still and amazing activity to do.

  • 5/5 Marcus R. 10 months ago on Google
    A really beautiful Japanese garden built for Bayer Employees with so many different Rhododendron types. An enchanting place to walk around and see the turtles, koi, storks and coypu! I'd say one of the nicest places to visit in the area.

(Original) Leider ist es geschlossen aber wir konnten große Ceus und andere Tiere sehen. Zum spazieren gehen war es trotzdem schön mal raus an die frische Luft.

  • 3/5 Dirk F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Even in winter when the weather is bad, it is worth visiting the facility. Overall, however, the park seems to be showing its age. Which surprises me a little that Bayer also has mossy meadows, but that's just nature. Please follow me on Instagram, thank you very much! (Original) Auch im Winter bei mieser Witterung lohnt es sich die Anlage aufzusuchen. Insgesamt scheint der Park aber in „die Jahre“ gekommen zu sein. Was mich etwas verwundert, dass Bayer durchaus auch vermooste Wiesen aufzuweisen hat, aber das ist halt Natur. Bitte folgt mir auf Instagram, Lieben Dank!

    (Translated by Google) It has always been wonderful, and it continues to be so well cared for, with the red pagodas, the perfumes, the plants ... to walk inside, with maximum harmony in the soul ... highly recommended even for very sensitive people. from chaos, to come back in harmony with your feelings, gently .. Recommended. It takes a little to feel good, seriously. (Original) È sempre stato meraviglioso,e continua ad esserlo.Cosí curato,con le pagode rosse,i profumi,le piante..Da camminarci dentro,con la massima armonia nell'anima..Consigliatissimo anche per le persone molto sensibili.Può aiutarvi a staccare dal caos,a tornare in armonia con il vostro sentire, dolcemente..Consigliatissimo.Basta poco per stare bene,sul serio.Quindi quel poco è tantissimo,lí a portata di mano.Basta imparare a sentire,a vedere ad occhi chiusi.

  • 3/5 apurv j. 4 years ago on Google
    To spend an hour or so, this is a good place but apart from that, the connectivity over weekend is not so good. The surrounding is fully loaded with beautiful trees and that gives a reason to visit specially during spring time

  • 4/5 Mahan K. 6 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Martin M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Keeping such an apparently beautiful facility closed is very bad. There may be a better rating if it can be viewed this calendar year. And I was there in Carl-Duisberg-Park on Monday mornings. Hardly any people on the way! The distance of 1.5m would have been possible, I think! (Possibly only on the weekends, possibly school holidays would have been enough) (Original) So eine anscheinend schöne Anlage geschlossen zu halten ist sehr schlecht. Bessere Bewertung gibt es ggf., falls er noch in diesem Kalenderjahr besichtigt werden kann. Und ich war montags morgens da im Carl-Duisberg-Park. Kaum Leute unterwegs! Da wäre doch der Abstand von 1,5m dochcwohl möglich gewesen, denke ich! (Ggf. nur an den Wochenenden, vll. noch Schulferien hätte doch gereicht)

  • 4/5 Marilin M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice garden, which has been very tastefully designed. The only disturbing factor is that the toilets (which are subject to a charge would also be perfectly fine) are missing for the visitors. (Original) Sehr schöner Garten, der sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet worden ist. Der einziger Störfaktor ist, dass die Toiletten (kostenpflichtig wären auch vollkommen in Ordnung) für die Besucher fehlen.

    (Translated by Google) We could not enter the park because it is closed due to the covid but what you saw from the outside looked quite beautiful.

    (Translated by Google) The Japanese garden in Leverkusen is a social / cultural facility of Bayer AG and with an area of ​​approx. 15,000 m² it is part of the Carl Duisberg Park. The complex was created around 1926 on the initiative of Prof. Carl Duisberg, who had set up a small Japanese garden next to his villa as early as 1913. The garden area contains a variety of East Asian plants and is of course also a gathering point for many birds and other animals. In the ponds you can, among other things watch imposing Koi fish (Japanese: Nishikigoi). The water systems include Streams, fountains and waterfalls. Japanese buildings, architectural elements, works of art and sculptures enrich the Far Eastern impression of this place. The complex is very well maintained and can be described as a source of peace and relaxation. Admission is free for everyone. (Original) Der japanische Garten in Leverkusen ist eine soziale/kulturelle Einrichtung der Bayer AG und mit einer Fläche von ca. 15.000 m² Teil des Carl-Duisberg-Parks. Entstanden ist die Anlage ca. ab 1926 auf Initiative von Prof. Carl Duisberg, der bereits um 1913 einen kleinen japanischen Garten neben seiner Villa eingerichtet hatte. Die Gartenanlage beinhaltet eine Vielzahl von ostasiatischen Gewächsen und ist natürlich auch ein Sammelpunkt für viele Vögel und andere Tiere. In den Teichanlagen kann man u.a. imposante Koi-Fische (japanisch: Nishikigoi) beobachten. Die Wasseranlagen beinhalten u.a. Bachläufe, Brunnen und Wasserfälle. Japanische Gebäude, Architekturelemente, Kunstwerke und Skulpturen bereichern den fernöstlichen Eindruck dieses Ortes. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und kann als eine Quelle der Ruhe und Erholung bezeichnet werden. Der Eintritt ist für jedermann kostenfrei.
