Fenyőfői Ősfenyves Természetvédelmi Terület, Ancient pine forest reserve in Győr-Moson-Sopron County, Hungary
The protected area spans 579 hectares of native pine forest growing on sandy soil within the Balaton Uplands National Park.
The forest dates back to the last ice age, with its pine trees surviving through 12,000 years of climate changes in the Carpathian Basin.
Hungarian botanist Pál Kitaibel first documented this forest area, leading to scientific research that proved its natural origin against previous assumptions.
The reserve offers marked hiking trails accessible year-round, with the nearest parking facilities located at the Bakonyszentlászló bus station.
The soil composition creates conditions where only specific pine species thrive, preventing other common trees like oak or beech from establishing.
