Trip Summary
We had a bit of extra time and thought that visiting Arboretet på Milde and seeing some blossoming Rhododendra would be nice. :-) We parked at Grønneviken parking (northwest of Arboretet) and started with a nice walk into Arboretet from the northwest. Before getting into the middle of it, we turned left onto a small trail that passes by Mørkevatnet (in its south) with some nice views. From there, we continued (in northern direction) to see the collection of Rhododendra that is placed into the forest there. And sure enough we were not disappointed, being overwhelmed by loads of bright colors! After enjoying this part of Arboretet for a good while, we returned towards its middle (Blondehuset) and from there we continued further into the south of Arboretet, into the direction of the (still relatively new) Japanese garden. After walking around there, also, we eventually visited the (really now new) labyrinth of Archimedes (right next to Lønningen Lystgård). All in all, we enjoyed this visit very much and can recommend to see Arboretet very much! :-)
