While searching for sources I have bumped also into another  similar theme park at Szarvas, so decided to create attached kmz file folder in the hope that even more exist.

This latter site is part of the Szarvas Arboretum botanical garden and its own website equipped with some better english version, so I quote here a short text from the main-page:

It took 9 months for 12 experts to create the outstandingly realistic details of the models and the park, in cooperation with acclaimed fine artists, and more than 50 other workers. Thanks to the special technology design of the models, the small buildings are especially resistant to outdoors circumstances, they already proved that in the extreme winter-like weather conditions in March, 2013. The Mini Magyarország model park properly fits the environment of Hungary's largest Arboretum: the unobstructed construction, sustainability and eco-friendly design were some of the highest priorities when making up the blueprints and plans for the park, with all the plants being coordinated with the flora of the Arboretum.
