This is Finland’s tallest tree, a European larch (Larix decidua), soaring over 40 meters high in the Punkaharju Arboretum. Planted in the late 1800s, this giant stands as a testament to the arboretum’s long history of tree cultivation and research.

The Punkaharju Arboretum is a living showcase of diverse tree species from Finland and around the world, set within the iconic Punkaharju ridge landscape. Wander through well-marked trails surrounded by towering pines, rare conifers, and experimental plantations, all while enjoying views of the surrounding lakes. Whether you're a tree enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful nature walk, the arboretum offers a unique blend of science and scenery in one of Finland’s most beautiful forested areas.

The Punkaharju Arboretum[1] is located approximately 7 km north of Punkaharju on State Route 14 towards Savonlinna in Finland. It provides information about forestry-useful and native tree species in Finland. The extensive forests and scenic beauty here at Punkaharju (Os) prompted the then ruler, the Russian Tsar Alexander I, to develop forestry and tourism here in the 18th century. Clear, online maps[2][3] provide information about the location of the arboretum, thematic trails, historic buildings, and the Finnish Museum and Science Center for Forest Culture LUSTO[4] in the surrounding area.
