History
Arboretum at the foot of the Mecsek.
The arboretum is named after János Pintér, a retired bank official from Pécs, who started planting the plants here in the 1920s. After his death, most of the garden was reclaimed by the natural vegetation of the Mecsek, increasing the species richness of the arboretum. Today, an interesting mixture of original associations and ornamental species make up the flora of the garden. The Pintér Garden is a nationally protected nature reserve, which with its many protected and highly protected plant species offers a pleasant and useful leisure time programme and also provides a venue for outdoor activities and activities.
It is home to numerous rare species of pine, deciduous trees and shrubs not native to our country, and one of the largest Arizona cypresses in Central Europe can be found here. The Mediterranean flora includes laurel, juniper, fig and pomegranate. In May, the peony blossom is an impressive sight.
