Kórnik Arboretum

Kórnik Arboretum is a woodland park that houses over 3,500 species of trees and shrubs from temperate regions around the world. The grounds are organized into different sections that showcase various plant types and their natural growth patterns.

The grounds began in the 1820s when a nobleman transformed a baroque garden layout into an English-style woodland park. Since then, the collection has grown continuously and is now maintained by a research institution.

The arboretum is a place where people walk among trees from around the world and learn how plants grow in different conditions. The collection demonstrates the diversity of natural forms and how various species coexist in one landscape.

Visitors can explore the grounds throughout all seasons, with the longest daylight hours occurring from May through June. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as paths wind throughout the entire wooded area.

Centuries-old native lime, beech, and oak trees grow alongside exotic magnolias that are over 100 years old and have developed unusual aerial root systems. These visible root structures make the magnolias particularly eye-catching throughout the park.
