The park offers a magnificent view and a pleasant refreshing in every season. In spring the spectacular view of ornamental and perennial plants around the fish pond, in summer the thousand shades of green, the rich scent of linden trees and the splash of the Cuha Brook, in autumn the brown-yellow brilliancy of colours and in winter the snow blanket and rime on the branches mesmerise the visitors. The ‘tree garden’ – also called the English garden – with an area of 18 hectares was established probably in the second half of the 18th century. In this wonderful natural environment you can often see bugs and insects characteristic only for the fauna of the Bakony Mountain and occasionally deer and squirrels accompany the vistors on their stroll.
