Historical Relaxation at the Sárvár Arboretum
The Sárvár Arboretum boasts one of Hungary’s richest historical legacies, dating back to the 16th century. Located near Nádasdy Castle, the arboretum today preserves around 300 different tree and shrub species, being among the first regional arboretums to be documented.
The arboretum is divided into two parts: one is a remnant of a former riparian hardwood forest in the middle of the town, where 300-year-old pedunculate oaks and tall alders surround a one-hectare fishpond. The other part is a traditional English park that began in the early 1800s. Here you can find the garden's oldest, nearly 200-year-old plane trees, black pines, and yew trees, which represent some of the arboretum's greatest values.
Later plantings included 100-130-year-old lily trees and various kinds of rhododendrons and azaleas, which found ideal soil conditions in the acidic soil. The arboretum not only preserves botanical treasures but also cultural artifacts, such as the limestone statue of forester György Koltay or the Dollhouse built by the Bavarian prince.
Today, the arboretum is managed by the Forestry Science Institute, which also places great emphasis on the research of plant genetic resources and enhancing ecological stability. The park is open all year round, especially offering a spectacular view with blooming plants in spring and autumn foliage.
