Upper Pobuzhia National Nature Park

Upper Pobuzhia National Nature Park is a large protected area in Khmelnytskyi Oblast that covers 108,000 hectares within the upper Southern Bug watershed. The landscape features dense forests, open meadows, rivers, and wetlands that form the backbone of the park's natural environment.

The park was established in 2013 as a response to growing needs for environmental protection in the region. This official designation enabled the territory to be managed as a unified conservation area and expanded protections for its natural systems.

The park serves as a meeting point where visitors discover how local communities have long managed this landscape using traditional ecological knowledge. People come here to experience firsthand the relationship between people and nature that shapes the region.

The park can be reached by road from Khmelnytskyi city, and visitors can explore it year-round through hiking trails and observation routes. Plan your visit based on what you want to see, since different seasons bring different wildlife and plant activity.

The protected area is home to 19 plant species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and 17 animal species recognized on the European Red List. These rare species make this territory significant for conservation efforts across a wider geographic region.
