Arboretum Kalmthout

Arboretum Kalmthout is a wonderful place. Every season you see something new. Winter is a special period, when the witch hazels bloom, and you can discover the largest collection in Europe here in Kalmthout! Regardless of cold or snow, they provide unique, sweetly scented flowers in warm colors.

In autumn, together with the Japanese maples, they display a beautiful display of colour. In the spring, cherry trees and apple trees are in full bloom, a cloud of blossoms! In summer, the butterfly garden in particular attracts attention. Children can then participate in a treasure hunt. They love the big pond and the bonsais. You can relax on one of the many benches or on the terrace of the cafeteria.
