Folly arboretum, Botanical garden in Badacsonytomaj, Hungary.
The arboretum extends across 5 hectares of land on the slopes of Badacsony mountain, containing an extensive collection of cedars and cypress trees.
Dr. Gyula Folly established this botanical garden in 1907, initiating a collection of non-native tree species that has grown through four generations of family management.
The garden integrates Hungarian wine traditions with botanical education, featuring a winery that produces local varieties like Olaszrizling alongside the tree collection.
Visitors can explore marked pathways through the garden, access an observation tower with lake views, and participate in guided tours lasting approximately 90 minutes.
The arboretum houses a pine cone-shaped observation tower offering panoramic views of Lake Balaton and the surrounding Badacsony wine region.
