Zalahaláp is a beautiful village at the foot of Haláp hill. There is a 140 years old Californian redwood tree in the park of the settlement, wich is unique in the county. The park belonged to Rónay-Litkey estate and six redwoods have grown up to the sky in the 50's. Unfortunately five trees were cut out by inhabitants. At last only one tree remained.
Zalahaláp egy kedves kisközség a Haláp lábánál. Itt található a falu parkjában egy 140 áves mamutfenyõ, ami ritkaság az országban. A park a Rónay és Litkey-birtokhoz tartozott, amelyben az 50-es években még 6 hegyi mamutfenyõ emelte koronáját az ég felé. Sajnos a lakosság 5 db-ot kivágott közülük. A megmaradt utolsó példány 140 éves. Magassága meghaladja a 37 m-t és törzsének mellmagassági átmérõje több, mint 220 cm.
