Pripyatsky National Park

The national park spans 858 square kilometers along the Pripyat River, featuring extensive wetlands, forests, and a network of waterways supporting diverse wildlife populations.

The territory transformed from royal hunting grounds to a protected national park in 1996, marking a shift in land use from aristocratic recreation to environmental conservation.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource management, including specific methods of fishing and gathering natural materials.

The park administration provides guided tours throughout the year, with visitors requiring permits for activities such as fishing, photography, and extended hiking expeditions.

The park contains an intricate system of water channels that seasonally flood, creating temporary islands that serve as nesting grounds for rare water birds.
