Zurich



- “Travelers strive in finding the right attitude while they do the journey.”


Continuing the post about our day in Zurich, just before we went to the Bärengasse Museum, we spent some hours in the lake promenade. The day was cold but the sun was shinning so brilliantly in the sky that we thought it could be a good idea to spend some time visiting a green house to walk within a light and warm environment.

That’s why we ended up visiting the Succulent Plant Collection of Zurich. The greenhouse is in the lakeside area of the city. Succulents are water storing plants originating from dry regions. They include cacti, algaves, aloes and stonecrops, among others.

It’s a fairly big collection including some very old species, dating back as far as 1929. The entrance is free and you can spend some nice hours in there. Below are some pictures we took.

Zurich

- “Viajeros se esfuerzan para tener una actitud correcta durante su jornada.”


Siguiendo la publicación anterior sobre el día que hemos pasado en Zurich, antes de irnos al Museo Bärengasse, hemos pasado algunas horas cerca del lago. El día estaba frío pero el sol brillaba fuerte en el cielo y por eso hemos pensado que podría ser una buena idea ir a visitar un invernadero y caminar en un lugar tibio y lleno de luz.

Exactamente por eso fuimos a visitar la Colección de Plantas Suculentas de Zurich. El invernadero se queda en el área del lago en la ciudad. Suculentas son platas que almacenan agua y son originarias de regiones áridas. Ellas incluyen cactus, algaváceas, áloes y crasuláceas, entre muchas.

La colección es bastante grande y hay algunas especies muy antiguas, con la fecha de 1929. La entrada es gratis y uno puede pasar algunas horas bastante agradables allí. Acá están algunas fotos que hemos sacado.

Zurique

- “Viajantes se esforçam para ter uma atitude correta durante a jornada.”

Seguindo a publicação anterior sobre o dia que passamos em Zurique, antes de irmos ao Museu Bärengasse, fomos passear na beira do lago. O dia estava frio, mas o sol brilhava forte no céu e por isso pensamos que seria uma boa idéia ir visitar uma estufa de plantas e caminhar dentro de um lugar morno e luminoso.

É por isso que terminamos indo visitar a Coleção de Plantas Suculentas de Zurique. A estufa fica na cidade, na área do logo. Suculentas são plantas que armazenam água e são originárias de regiões secas e áridas. Elas incluem os cactos, agaváceas, aloés e crassuláceas, entre muitas outras.

A coleção é bastante grande e inclui algumas espécies muito antigas, do ano de 1929. A entrada é grátis e você pode passar algumas horas bem agradáveis lá. Eu coloquei aqui no blog algumas fotos que tirei durante a nossa visita.
