Sloboda National Nature Park

The park spans 5,244 hectares across the confluence of Merla and Merchik Rivers, featuring forests, meadows, marshes, and varied terrains of eastern Ukraine.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection established Sloboda National Nature Park in December 2009 to safeguard the natural ecosystems of Kharkiv Oblast.

Local residents maintain traditional ecological knowledge about the park's flora and fauna, passing down information through educational programs and community events.

Visitors can access designated hiking trails, camping areas, and educational facilities throughout the park while maintaining specific distances from protected zones.

Natural maple-lime forests cover the right bank of the Merla River, while artificial pine plantations dominate the left bank, creating distinct ecological zones.
