ARBORETUM
Presentation
Ten minutes' walk from the centre of Fresse-sur-Moselle (car park at the building of the municipal workshop (ateliers municipaux)), the arboretum covers more than four hectares at an altitude between 560 and 590 metres above sea level.
The access is slightly sloping on a south-facing hillside overlooking the village and the Moselle valley.
Since its creation in 1992, the arboretum has been expanded with 200 native tree species, but also Mediterranean, African, Asian and American species. The quality of the soil and the good location have favoured the adaptation of those species. Information boards are next to the trees so that visitors can learn more about them.
The area belongs to the municipal forest. The French forestry authority ONF (Office Nationale des Forêts) is responsible for its maintenance.
The arboretum is crossed by a two-kilometre fitness trail, which is a delight for sports enthusiasts and walkers.
