Volčji Potok Arboretum, Botanical garden and national monument in Kamnik, Slovenia
The arboretum spans 85 hectares with diverse landscapes, including French and English gardens, gravel paths, natural forests, and wet meadows throughout the grounds.
The estate, first mentioned in the 17th century, transformed into a public arboretum in 1952 after being part of the Souvan family property since 1885.
The park served as an inspiration site for Slovene impressionist painters and currently displays animal statues by artist Janez Boljka in its gallery.
Located 20 kilometers from Ljubljana, the arboretum maintains its own nurseries and garden center while offering landscape architecture services across Slovenia.
The collection includes 5000 plant species, featuring two million spring tulips, 1200 rose varieties, and an extensive assortment of rhododendrons blooming in May.
