The second arboretum of TFE Krtiny is situated in forests between Rícmanice and Babice nad Svitavou, i.e. some 17 km from the centre of the Moravian metropolis of Brno. Here too one can find beautiful nature with an unrepeatable view into the meadow in the heart of the arboretum. The arboretum was established in the 1960s thanks to the effort of Doc. Jindrich Chmelar. On an area of 6 hectares the local collection of more than 100 coniferous tree species is greatest in the Czech Republic one of them being for example one of the biggest specimens of Araucaria araucana occurring in the Czech Republic.
