Botanical Garden of Zirc - Arboretums on Waymarking.com

This 18 hectares arboretum formed from the English garden of the Cistercian Abbey of Zirc, collects and presents plants indigenous to the Bakony Hills. This is the highest-elevation arboretum of Hungary. In 1753 the forest has been felled around the monastery, but few old trees were spared, including a Pedunculate Oak now estimated to be 400 years old. The garden's famous row of linden trees was planted in 1809. In 1855 a new bed was dug for the Cuha Stream, which crosses the park, while a small island was created in the lake.
