Danube-Drava National Park

The Danube-Drava National Park spans across wetlands, forests, and riverbanks between two major rivers, providing habitats for numerous water birds and amphibians.

The national park, designated in 1996, marks the convergence of ancient waterways that shaped the region's geographical features through centuries of natural processes.

The White Stork Museum in Kölked documents the relationship between local communities and these migratory birds that nest throughout the protected area.

Visitors can access multiple information centers across the park, including the Dráva Kapu Bemutatóközpont, which offers detailed maps and guided tour arrangements.

The park contains extensive floodplain forests where black storks nest in isolation, while river sections maintain populations of European beavers in their natural state.
