We went to the botanical garden in Bonn. There were some cool plants I'd never seen before, like these lily pads (victoria amazonica).
We also went to drachenfels. There's a castle on a hill that was finished in 1884. Stephan Sarter, a successful tycoon, funded the project as a personal escape.
There's no photography allowed inside, but there's a lot of beautiful stained glass, paintings, and dedications to great people. It only took 2 years to build the whole place.
