Gemenc, Protected forest along Danube River in southern Hungary.
The Gemenc forest spans 16,873 hectares with a network of oxbow lakes, floodplains, and dense woodland areas within the Danube-Drava National Park.
Environmental protection in Gemenc began in 1977 when it received designation as a Landscape Protection Area, leading to its incorporation into national park systems.
Local conservation programs focus on maintaining traditional ecological knowledge while supporting research initiatives about wetland ecosystems and wildlife populations.
Visitors can access the forest through entry points in both Tolna County and Bács-Kiskun County, with designated paths for nature observation.
The forest contains seven invertebrate species found nowhere else in Hungary and maintains substantial populations of black storks and white-tailed eagles.
