Over the years the trees had to be replaced several times for various reasons, but fortunately, we can still enjoy the shady foliage today.
History
Debrecen – On August 6, 1820, an alley just off the road leading to the Great Forest was inaugurated as part of a folk festival. Over the years the trees had to be replaced several times for various reasons, but fortunately, we can still enjoy the shady foliage today.
In the early 1800s, more and more people visited the Great Forest. During this time Baron József Simonyi of Baréz Vitézvár, a hero of the Napoleonic Wars, settled in Debrecen in 1818 with his hussar regiment. He also took his soldiers to the Great Forest for practice. At this time the road between the city and the forest was still an unmanaged area and when the regiment withdrew, the area was covered in a cloud of dust.
