Hallo!
Today we took a trip to the Wilhelm Zoological Botanical Gardens in Stuttgart. This is a unique kind of zoo with a combination of animals, exotic plants and architecture, both old and modern. Built in 1850 for King Wilhelm I. of Wurttemberg, as a summerhouse and greenhouse. There are over 1,000 species of animals and over 8,000 animals in all. Over 6,000 species of plants and over 5,000 orchid blossoms. Many of the plants date back over 150 years old to the beginning of the park.
There is also a world-renowned aquarium. From little local fish to the crocodile, animals from all parts of the world inhabit the aquarium. The king penquins from the Antartic were one of my favs.
If you are ever in the area, visit Wilhelma!
