Simeria arboretum, Arboretum and historic monument in Simeria, Romania.
Simeria Arboretum is a large green space where tree species from around the world are arranged in systematic sections for observation and study. The grounds follow the Mures River valley and provide paths for visitors to walk through the different plant areas at their own pace.
The arboretum began in the 18th century and later underwent major expansion during the 1870s and 1880s, when many tree and shrub species from other continents were introduced. This growth transformed it into an important botanical collection site in the region.
The site serves as a learning hub where visitors walk among trees collected from distant regions, all arranged for study and observation. Schools and researchers use the space to understand plant diversity and how different species thrive together.
Visitors can walk through the grounds at their own pace and explore different plant sections with ease. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since paths wind through various areas, and you may want to allow time for reading plant labels and observing details.
The grounds hold rare tree species not commonly found elsewhere in Europe, with many originating from Asian regions and climates. This unusual collection lets visitors encounter trees from distant parts of the world in a single location.
