One of the most beautiful English Gardens today is the Englischer Garten located in Munich, Germany. It covers an area of more than 2 square miles, from the city’s center all the way to its northern limits. It is bigger that the New York City’s Central Par but smaller than Richmond Park in London, which is the biggest city park in Europe. It includes a beer garden that can seat 2500 visitors at one tine (who are there to admire the nature, off course), a Japanese tea house, a Chinese pagoda, a monopteros(Greek stile temple), and why not, a nude sunbathing spot (I believe quite different than what Capability brown had imagined for the future of his work). The total length of the pathways is 578 Km (approximately 360 miles), the length of its streams is approximately 5 miles, it has over 100 bridges and it contains over 50 species of birds.
