Nagyerdő Park
Nagyerdő
Hungary's first protected urban forest, where woodland lakes, trails, thermal baths, a zoo and the university are gathered; a favourite leisure spot for locals.
Nagyerdő (Great Forest) lies about 3 km north of the city centre. In 1939 it became Hungary's first urban forest designated as a nature reserve, and it is mostly oak woodland. Inside the park are small lakes, sculptures, walking trails and cycle paths. Nearby are the main building of the University of Debrecen, the Aquaticum thermal baths, the zoo and amusement park, the Nagyerdei stadium and the water tower viewing platform. Tram line 1 takes about 10 minutes from the old town. Entry is free, but it gets crowded on summer weekends.
