Description
The Botanic Gardens in Bonn is part of the University of Bonn and is laid out picturesquely around the Poppelsdorf Castle. The gardens today has evolved from the baroque castle gardens created around 1720. Read more on the excellent English website.
Note the opening hours of the gardens:
- Summer (Apr – Oct): Sunday – Wednesday & Friday 10–18h; Thursday 10–20h; Saturday closed
- Winter (Nov – Mar): Monday – Friday 10–16h; Saturday and Sunday closed
Access to the gardens is free except on Sundays and public holidays where a €3 entrance fee must be paid. No dogs or bikes are allowed inside.
Now to the task at hand: Directly inside the main entrance you will find the Lyrabecken (Lyra pond), named for the Lyra sculpture in the middle of it. To the South of the South corner there is a webcam; stand at the corner of the tiles, face the cam and clearly display your GPS to claim a find here.
The URL of the webcam is http://botgart.uni-bonn.de/o_news/webcam.html ; the picture is updated once a minute. Have your helper save the image and upload it together with your log. Logs without photos will be deleted.

I just wrote to the botgart people asking for a repair of the webcam.

did not find the geoacache
I'm sitting on the bench next to Lyrabecken typing this on my phone, but looks like the webcam pic last refreshed on 2015-04-04 :(
Edit: and just as I had uploaded the webcam pic and wanted to take a phone pic, the battery gave out ☹ oh well.
