Seasonal recommendations
In spring the area of the manor house in Tornali will wake up. A young greenery blooms in the park. We recommend visiting the place in the morning. Due to variable weather we recommend layered clothing and shoes suitable for wet grass. By flying, dense treetops provide shade from heat. Visitors are advised to plan for an early morning or late afternoon. Due to direct sunlight in parts of the area we recommend taking a hat and protective cream. The autumn park brightens with yellow and red shades. Golden lighting is suitable for photography architecture of the manor house. Due to colder temperatures, we recommend having a lightweight sweater or jacket. Walks are most suitable in mid-October. Winter brings peace to the area. In snow, the landscape looks sharper. Choose warm, leaky clothes, hat and gloves to visit. Clear days are appropriate when the low sun creates long shadows.
