Sarvar is spread between both ends of the Raba River and is rich in natural resources. During its pre-historic years, the city was densely populated. The Roman Empire saw the need to protect its primary merchant route; hence, the presence of military camps on both riversides, as well as the creation of a fort for defense.
Today, it’s regarded more as a spa town than for its military history. There are a total of 13 spa resorts in the township, with two certified spa resorts: “Sarvar - medical miracle” and “Sarvar - arboretum.” Its status as a spa town has boosted its medical tourism as well as piqued the interests of travelers to stop by and reap its relaxing benefits. As far as sights go, Sarvar certainly doesn’t fall short with places like Nadasdy Castle, the Boating Lake, and St. Laszlo, one of many Roman Catholic churches on its list.
Where do you go to get the well-rounded visit and appreciation for this wonderful village in Hungary? Here’s 8 places that made it to our prized list!
1. Sárvár Arboretum
Sárvár Arboretum is famous for its cultivated garden and plants, with its landscape being featured since way back in the 16th century. While it might not be bigger than an actual park, it certainly has a unique selection of trees within. It is very well maintained – even the trail seems like it has been manicured to perfection. Some trees in its range are aged up to 400 years, and probably more! There are designated picnic areas, complete with benches for you to rest your aching legs, especially when you’re done checking out its tiny stream and meadows.
