Hiking

The arboretum was created to showcase the diversity of different tree species and to make the unique conditions of the reclaimed Sophienhöhe tangible. The sandy soil and open landscape deliberately evoke characteristics of other regions, such as Lusatia, which have a historical connection to mining.

"In addition, the Kleine Lausitz corresponds to the mission statement of the Sophienhöhe "Location diversity creates biodiversity". And at the same time it fulfills the official requirements for the creation of an arboretum, i.e. a collection of trees. More than 20 of the more than 100 pine species worldwide are united there, including the yellow pine ( Pinus ponderosa) and the teardrop pine (Pinus wallichiana).'
