Jena is a German city famous for its rolling hills and a variety of wild orchids. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city is Stadtkirche Sankt Michael, or the Church of St. Michael. The church's magnificent Gothic architecture includes a tower that may have once seemed tall, but is now dwarfed by the neighboring JenTower skyscraper. The cylindrical JenTower has an observation deck and restaurant on the top floor where you can get the best views of Jena.
Jena has a wealth of quirky museums that are not your average art or history museums. For example, the Optical Museum exhibits a wide range of glasses, microscopes, and cameras from various points in optics history. Planetarium Jena often runs laser astronomy shows, and the Phyletic Museum hosts a small but rich collection of natural history exhibits. Of course, you can always simply stroll in the Botanischer Garten, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Germany.
The central hub of intercity bus transportation in the city is the Jena Paradies Bus Station, right in the city's center. Travel to Jena includes bus service on FlixBus, plus numerous train routes on the Deutsche Bahn network.
Wildau
Located close to the German capital city of Berlin, Wildau is a small town with many technology parks nearby. Wildau is perhaps best known for the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau, or TH Wildau. This university focuses on engineering and other sciences, with a strong reputation for applied research.
While the city does not top lists of the most popular destinations in Germany, the quieter suburb of Wildau has its own gems. Enjoy a riverside bike ride or a hiking trip in the Dahmewanderweg park area. You can also check out local natural landmarks such as Zeuthener See, a vast lake perfect for swimming, boating, or picnicking.
Wildau is connected to Berlin on the S-Bahn, so you can easily transfer to any of Berlin's many travel options.
