Kopački Rit Nature Park, Nature park and Ramsar site in Osijek-Baranja County, Croatia.
Kopački Rit Nature Park sits where the Drava and Danube rivers meet, forming a network of channels, lakes, and marshes across the landscape. This wetland system creates interconnected habitats that support diverse plant and animal life throughout the area.
The area gained importance in the 17th century when a hunting lodge was built here by regional nobility. This early development established the land as a place of value and human activity in the region.
The wetlands have shaped how people in this area live and work across generations, with residents developing specialized fishing and farming methods suited to this environment.
The park can be explored by boat tour, walking trail, or bicycle path, with the main entrance located roughly 15 kilometers from Osijek's city center. The best time to visit depends on which birds you want to see and water levels across the channels and lakes.
Over 300 bird species live here, including the largest population of Eurasian spoonbills found anywhere in the Danube basin. These birds depend on the park as a vital resting place during their journeys across continents.
