The Mousty arboretum was planted in the last century by a forestry engineer who wanted to test different tree species for the limestone region. Today you can admire more than 30 species of deciduous and coniferous trees, each accompanied by an informative sign. You can also enjoy the view from three benches and gazebos, and learn about the arboretum from large panels. The arboretum is a great place to relax and appreciate the beauty and diversity of the trees.

I can't resist and just have to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wit and "another poem", with a short quatrain:
"Trees, trees, nothing but trees,
and in between - spaces.
But behind it all, you can hardly believe it:
Another tree!"
(H.Erhardt)
