Alpinium Juliana

Alpinium Juliana

Alpinum Juliana is Slovenia's only Alpine botanical garden. It was set up in 1926 by Albert Bois de Chesne, a native of Trento, with the help of the Alpine flora experts Henri Correvon and Lino Vaccari, and Dr Julius Kugy, with information on the localities of rare plants. Today it is maintained by the Natural History Museum of Slovenia.

Around 1,000 species of plants, mostly from the Julian Alps, thrive on an area of 2,570 m2.
