Fehérvárcsurgó’s Károlyi Castle is keeping its much-loved monthly Botanical Walks on the calendar for 2026, inviting visitors to explore the renewed historic park at 8052 Fehérvárcsurgó, Petőfi Street (Petőfi utca) 2. The two-hour program opens up a 55.6-acre historic garden—also a protected natural area—featuring newly planted species from the recent reconstruction, alongside a remarkable collection of native and exotic trees aged 100 to 170 years, a boating lake, and a charming gloriette. The walks run in all weather, with limited spots and advance registration required.
What You’ll See
The route threads through the entire 55.6-acre garden, highlighting fresh plantings set among veteran specimens, including century-old natives and exotics that shape the park’s layered canopy and seasonal color. The trail loops by the boating lake and pauses at the gloriette, a photogenic focal point that anchors views across the landscape. Expect an easy pace, plenty of time for questions, and a close look at how restoration blends heritage design with living collections.
