Great Forest Week

Nagyerdei park Nagyerdei park 12, Debrecen

Nationally, the Nagyerdő is a cherished treasure, an iconic symbol of Debrecen, much like the Reformed Great Temple or Calvinist Rome. Eighty-one years ago, on October 10, 1939, the Great Forest of Debrecen received its protected status, marking it as the country's very first entry in the Hungarian Nature Register. For the fourth time, a series of programs presenting Hungary's most beautiful forest, the Great Forest in Debrecen, will be organised by the Great Forest Society, the Debrecen Store of Value (Értéktár) Committee, the Future of Debrecen and several cooperating partners between October 9 and 15, 2023 under the title Great Forest Week.
