Mizhrichynskyi Regional Landscape Park, Protected natural area in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine
Mizhrichynskyi Regional Landscape Park is a protected area in Chernihiv Oblast, northern Ukraine, occupying a stretch of land between the Desna and Dnipro rivers. The terrain is made up of pine forests, reed marshes, and floodplain meadows that change character with the seasons.
The park was created in 2002 with an area of 102,472.95 hectares, making it Ukraine's largest regional landscape park. Its boundaries run about 240 km: the Desna forms the eastern edge, while the southern and western edges follow the Chernihiv Oblast border. Two military polygons remain inside the park and are also used for forestry and hunting.
The park's name comes from the Ukrainian words for "between the rivers", a direct reference to its position between the Desna and the Dnipro. Visitors today can see how water shapes everything here, from the flooded meadows in spring to the thick reed beds along the banks.
The park is reachable from both Kyiv and Chernihiv and works well as a day trip from either city. Walking trails run through the site, and local guides can be arranged for those who want a closer look at the different habitats.
