Arboretet

The arboretum was founded in the 1930s by forester Valdemar Sejer.
His idea was to make a collection of trees and shrubs that grew on the 55th parallel, which is the latitude Bornholm is located on. At the same time, the bushes and trees were unusual on Bornholm.
After Sejer’s time, the Arboretum was allowed to fall into disrepair, but in the 1980s it was renovated and expanded with trees mainly from North America and Asia. The North American ones were planted in the northern part of the garden, and the Asian, especially Japanese and Korean, were planted in the south.

The 4-5 hectare area has also been expanded with a network of paths and a number of small lakes

For selected trees, there are posters with a description of the tree.

It is possible to park next to the entrance.
