Stradch Arboretum is a 5.7-hectare dendrological park on the Roztochchia upland, about 17 km from Lviv. It is a unit of the Botanical Garden of the Ukrainian National Forestry University, attached to the Stradch training forestry enterprise and laid out in the early 1960s. The collection holds around 300 taxa of trees and shrubs; its signature is an alley of half-century-old Douglas firs, alongside western and giant thujas, Lawson cypress, Swiss, Siberian and Korean stone pines, black and grey walnuts, red oak and tree hydrangea. An ecological trail runs through the alleys of the arboretum; an unhurried walk takes about an hour to an hour and a half. It doubles as a research and teaching site for university students. The Stradch cave monastery and hill sit in the same village, so the two can easily be combined in one trip. Bus No. 125 from the Lviv station at Dvirtseva Square serves the village.
