Abstract: To any finite graph $X$ (viewed as a topological space) we assosiate some explicit compact metric space ${calX}^r(X)$ which we call {it the reflection tree of graphs $X$}. This space is of topological dimension $le1$ and its connected components are locally connected. We show that if $X$ is appropriately triangulated (as a simplicial graph $Gamma$ for which $X$ is the geometric realization) then the visual boundary $partia{l}_{i}nfty(W,S)$ of the right angled Coxeter system $(W,S)$ with the nerve isomorphic to $Gamma$ is homeomorphic to ${calX}^r(X)$. For each $X$, this yields in particular many word hyperbolic groups with Gromov boundary homeomorphic to the space ${calX}^r(X)$.
