Arboretum of Mainau, Botanical garden collection on Mainau Island, Germany.

The arboretum spans across 45 hectares of land, featuring 500 species of deciduous and coniferous trees within Lake Constance's subtropical climate.

Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden purchased Mainau Island in 1853 and initiated the planting of exotic trees, including giant sequoias from California.

The Italian rose garden displays 1,200 varieties arranged in geometric patterns, complemented by classical pergolas, fountains, and stone sculptures.

Visitors can access the arboretum daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM through regular bus services or ferry connections from multiple points around Lake Constance.

The collection includes 150-year-old sequoias and metasequoias planted during the initial development phase of the garden in the mid-19th century.
