Persina Nature Park, Nature park and Ramsar site in Belene, Bulgaria.

Persina Nature Park is a protected area along the Danube River that spreads across multiple islands, wetlands, forests, and diverse ecological zones. The landscape shifts between open water surfaces, dense vegetation, and wooded areas that together create a varied natural environment.

Persina Nature Park was established on 4 December 2000 by order of Bulgaria's environment minister, with its directorate set up in Belene on 1 April 2001. The Belene Islands Complex within the park was declared a Ramsar site on 24 September 2002, covering 6,898 hectares, the largest such site in Bulgaria. The park's designation aimed to conserve and restore Danube wetlands, especially the natural state of its many islands.

The park is named after Persin Island, the fourth largest island on the Danube and the largest in Bulgaria, 15 km long and 6 km wide. The Belene Islands Complex within it was declared a Ramsar site on 24 September 2002. A visitor centre in Belene serves the park.

The Visitor Center in Belene offers information materials and guides that help you explore the park's different routes and understand the landscape. Allow plenty of time to follow the designated paths and see the various habitats at a comfortable pace.

The park contains Persin Island, the largest Bulgarian Danube island, which supports an exceptional diversity of animal and plant life found nowhere else in the region. This island draws birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts seeking rare habitats and species.
