ARBORETUM VOLCJI POTOK

Opened to the general public in 1952, this large 85-hectare botanical park - the most visited in Slovenia - exhibits more than 3,000 plants, nearly 5,000 trees and some 1,000 varieties of roses. Beyond these superlatives, one can also appreciate the superb collections of daffodils, tulips and rhododendrons. As the seasons change, the colours change, but not the poetry of the place. The exhibition on floral illusions is very successful because the artists invest the natural ground to divert it from its primary function. Guided tours possible in English.
