Set in the walled garden of the monastery park, the arboretum largely dates back to the redevelopment of the grounds by GF in the 1950s. The tree collection comprises around 60 species from Europe, Asia and North America.
Once a month, experts will be giving guided tours (in German) of this unique collection of trees.
