Arboretum 🌷 Mystery Cache

Arboretum Volčji Potok, tudi Souvanov park, je načrtno urejen park in nasad lesnatih rastlin (dreves in grmovnic, ki služijo v raziskovalno-prosvetne namene). Nahaja se poleg istoimenskega naselja Volčji Potok, v bližini Radomelj. Osrednji slovenski arboretum je 1952 kot študijsko središče ustanovila agronomska fakulteta v Ljubljani. Arboretum Volčji Potok je kulturno-prosvetna ustanova vsesplošnega pomena. Razteza se na 88 hektarih in obsega pet urejenih jezer ter 30 hektarov gozda, v katerem je zlasti pomembna v Sloveniji redka združba jelke in trokrpega mahu.

V Volčjem Potoku uspeva približno 2.500 vrst sort iglavcev in listavcev ter okoli 300 samoniklih zelnatih rastlin. Število različnih trajnic in enoletnic se iz leta v leto spreminja. Drevesa in grmi pripadajo tako osnovnim botaničnim vrstam iz Evrope, Severne Amerike in Azije kot kultivarjem, ki so bili vzgojeni v okrasne namene. Najbogatejše so zbirke vrst javorjev, lip, brez in bukev. Med javorji je posebno veliko kultivarjev pahljačastega javorja (Acer palmatum). Pozornost zaslužijo tudi luskasti iglavci, ki jih je največ okoli rozarija. Obiskovalci najbolj občudujejo sleče (rododendrone) in vrtnice. Strokovnjaki hvalijo še zbirko zimzelenih listavcev.

Bogata je tudi zbirka bukev, brez, hrastov, lip, javorov, japonskih češenj, magnolij, borov, jelk, cipres, smrek, tis, tuj in rododendronov. Skupno je v parku preko 4500 domačih in tujih rastlinskih vrst dreves, grmovnic in drugih rastlin.

V Slavi vojvodine Kranjske Janez Vajkard Valvasor navaja, da je ob koncu 16. stoletja imela Volčji Potok v posesti rodbina Bonhomo. Po Valvasorjevi dobi so bili lastniki Volčjega Potoka dr. Janez Burger in njegova hči Pavlina, nato pa rodbina Gozani. Leta 1882 je posestvo Volčji Potok od vdove Fredinanda Gozanija kupil ljubljanski veletrgovec Ferdinand Souvan. Ta je 1885 preuredil dvorec, nekatere pred dvorcem ležeče njive in travnike pa zasadil z drevjem in napravil park, ki ga je obdal z zidom. Po njem je posestvo podedoval sin Leon, ki je okoli graščine zasnoval kar dvanajst hektarov parka z ribniki in nasadi eksotičnih dreves. Ob prelomu stoletja so tu delovali tudi nekateri slovenski impresionisti, na primer Matija Jama. Graščina in park sta ostala v lasti družine Souvan vse do 2. svetovne vojne, ko je moral Leon Souvan pred Nemci pobegniti v Ljubljano. 13. aprila 1944 so Graščino, ki je na tem mestu stala vsaj 300 let, zasedli, izropali in požgali slovenski partizani pod srbskim poveljstvom. Leon Souvan je kot zadnji zasebni lastnik posestva umrl kmalu po vojni, leta 1949. Takoj po njegovi smrti so komunistične oblasti nacionalizirale celoten kompleks in ga leta 1952 dodelile v upravljanje Agronomski in gozdarski fakulteti v Ljubljani, ki ga je preoblikovala v javnosti odprti arboretum. Leta 1965 se je sodelovanje z Agronomsko fakulteto končalo in med letoma 1965 in 1999 je arboretum deloval kot finančno samostojen subjekt. Od leta 1999 dalje je kot kulturna in naravna dediščina nacionalnega pomena v upravljanju slovenske države. Leta 2023 je bil na vrhu vzpetine v parku odprt razgledni stolp.

Arboretum Volčji Potok, also known as Souvan Park, is a deliberately arranged park and plantation of woody plants (trees and shrubs) used for research and educational purposes. It is located next to the village of Volčji Potok, near Radomlje, Slovenia. The central Slovenian arboretum was established in 1952 as a study center by the Faculty of Agriculture in Ljubljana. Arboretum Volčji Potok is a culturally and educationally significant institution. It covers an area of 88 hectares and includes five well-maintained lakes and 30 hectares of forest, where the rare combination of fir trees and three-toothed moss is particularly important in Slovenia.

In the glory of the Duchy of Carniola, Janez Vajkard Valvasor states that at the end of the 16th century, the Bonhomo family owned Volčji Potok. According to Valvasor, the owners of Volčji Potok after his era were Dr. Janez Burger and his daughter Pavlina, followed by the Gozan family. In 1882, the estate of Volčji Potok was purchased by Ferdinand Souvan, a merchant from Ljubljana, from the widow of Ferdinand Gozan. In 1885, Ferdinand Souvan renovated the mansion and planted trees in some fields and meadows near the mansion, creating a park surrounded by a wall. The estate was inherited by his son Leon, who designed a twelve-hectare park with ponds and exotic tree plantations around the castle. At the turn of the century, some Slovenian impressionists also worked here, such as Matija Jama. The mansion and park remained in the ownership of the Souvan family until World War II when Leon Souvan had to flee to Ljubljana to escape the Germans. On April 13, 1944, the mansion, which had stood in this place for at least 300 years, was occupied, looted, and burned by Slovenian partisans under Serbian command. Leon Souvan, as the last private owner of the estate, died shortly after the war in 1949. Immediately after his death, the communist authorities nationalized the entire complex and assigned it to the management of the Agricultural and Forestry Faculty in Ljubljana, which transformed it into a publicly accessible arboretum. The cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture ended in 1965, and between 1965 and 1999, the arboretum operated as a financially independent entity. Since 1999, it has been under the management of the Slovenian state as a cultural and natural heritage site of national importance. In 2023, an observation tower was opened at the top of the hill in the park.
