The Alexandria arboretum is one of the largest dendroparks not only in Ukraine but also in Eastern Europe. After all, it stretches almost 300 hectares!

This monument of landscape art, located in the White Church on the terrace of the river Ros, has a two-century history. Count Xavier Branitsky ordered to break it in honor of his wife. The middle of the 19th century became the blossom of the park. Many celebrities used to walk around hereof that time. Therefore, at the entrance you will be met by the busts of Pushkin and Shevchenko.

The arboretum has more than 20 ponds, which are cascaded and merge with the river Ros. Local inhabitants - swans and wild ducks, will please the eye of the traveler.

Walking along alleys and paths - and they are in the park for more than 20 kilometers - you can touch the 400-year-old oaks, see the oldest tulip tree and embrace the giant 130-year-old poplar.>

In the heart of the park is the Great Glade, the record holder for the number of different plants. From her the paths lead you to the waterfall, the island of "Dreams", on which the fountain beats, and to the Chinese bridge. Of course, you can not bypass the main attraction of the arboretum - the oak tree, which occupied almost 50 hectares. Not far from it there was a gardener's house, which became the only surviving building of the 18th century.
