El Feidja National Park, Protected forest reserve in Jendouba Governorate, Tunisia
El Feidja National Park is a protected forest reserve in the Jendouba region featuring mountains, natural springs, and lakes. The landscape consists of dense woodlands at different elevations with water sources fed by underground springs.
The park was established in 1990 and received Category II protected area status to safeguard the region's natural resources. This classification emerged from the need to protect one of northwestern Tunisia's remaining forest areas.
The park serves as a gathering place for people seeking outdoor activities and nature exploration in the region. Local communities and visitors use the forest trails and water features for recreation and connecting with the natural surroundings.
The park welcomes visitors during daylight hours and provides designated areas for outdoor activities. Wearing comfortable shoes and bringing water is advisable since walking through forest and hillsides can be physically demanding.
The park is home to rare animal species such as the Barbary stag, African golden wolf, and Barbary boar that are seldom seen elsewhere. These threatened species survive in only a handful of protected areas across the region.
