🌿 Dobogó Forest Nature Reserve – The realm of spring flowers

If you are looking for a truly special, nature-filled experience, visit the Dobogó Forest Nature Reserve, locatedon the border of Kőrmed-Horvátnád, in the floodplain of the Rába and Pinka rivers. This 2 km long trail leads through an enchanting gallery forest, where in spring millions of spring snowflakes (Leucojum vernum) cover the ground, forming a white carpet of flowers. The sight and smell are both an impressive experience.
