The Stone Mounds
Scenic and calm area in the Botanical Garden
The Stone Mounds in the Botanical Garden are a scenic and historic area located in central Copenhagen, close to Nørreport and the Kings Garden.
The area consists of distinctive mounds, stone fences, and small stone mounds, created in the 19th century as part of the garden’s collection of plants and geological specimens. The stone mounds provide both visual character and opportunities for quiet rest in a green oasis in the city. The area is surrounded by the Botanical Garden’s other collections, including rare plants, trees, and flower beds, creating a combination of culture, nature, and learning. Today, the stone mounds serve as a recreational space for students, families, and visitors who want to enjoy nature, learn about plants, and experience a historic part of Copenhagen’s green areas. The slightly hidden and peaceful location within the garden makes it a highly recommended hidden gem.
