Hershtrasse in Bonn, Germany
From series “Top 13 Most Fantastic and Colorful Streets and Quarters”
A special place among iconic Bonn's attractions is occupied by Heerstrasse Street. It's also known to many tourists under its unofficial name - The Cherry Tunnel. Cherry trees grow along both sides of the street. During the flowering period, this place is converted into a fabulously beautiful tunnel. Heerstrasse Street is situated in the very center. That's busiest street in the city.
Lovely cherry trees were planted along it in 1984 as a part of a large-scale ecological program of planting. Since then, in mid-spring the street turns into a small corner of Japan. Thousands of people come here every day to enjoy the blooming cherry trees. Many prefer to admire the trees in the evening, as they look even more unusual in the light of street lamps. Typically, trees bloom up to 10 days. It is very difficult to predict, when the alley will be flowering next spring.
