Jablunkovské arboretum, Arboretum and park in Jablunkov, Czech Republic
Jablunkovské arboretum is a park and tree collection around the Jablunkov lung sanatorium, east of the Ošetnice stream and Lomná river at about 401 m elevation. It holds a notable group of decorative trees, including a tall beech and an elm with drooping branches, plus sandstone sculptures by Vincenc Makovský and Jan Tříska. Significant species are marked with information boards.
The arboretum was created in 1924 on donated land by the Slezská humanita association, which later merged, for financial reasons, with Humanita pro zemi Moravskoslezskou based in Brno. The Jablunkov lung sanatorium stands at its centre as a protected monument. A revitalisation of the grounds took place in the 1990s.
