"A must-see in Linz is the Botanical Garden. Visitors of the Botanical Garden's Tropical House, will be greeted by humid atmosphere resembling the tropical climate. Tropical plants are the most endangered plants on the planet. Except for trees, the most significant plants of the tropical rain forest are epiphytes. These plants are attached to their hosts high in the canopies. Thus, they have an advantage over plants restricted to the ground where there is less light and herbivores may be more active.
