Fritscheho arboretum, Arboretum in Sněžná, Krásná Lípa, Czech Republic.
Fritscheho Arboretum is a botanical garden laid out along a stream with organized collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, and ornamental trees throughout distinct planted sections. Small ponds are integrated into the design to follow the water flow across the grounds.
Vítězslav Fritsche founded this botanical collection in the 1960s as a personal private garden. The site later transitioned to public access and became an educational resource for the wider community.
The site serves as a living laboratory where local plant communities are preserved and displayed for visitors to experience directly. People come to see how different tree species coexist in natural conditions and learn from the garden's arrangement.
The arboretum is an unfenced plot between private houses in Sněžná, part of Krásná Lípa. An unmarked path crosses it along a stream that rises here and feeds the Křinice; a wooden bilingual arrow stands at its upper edge. The lower valley section joins the Kögler educational trail and the red-marked hiking route near Krásný Buk.
