Halych National Nature Park, National nature park in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine
Halych National Nature Park is a protected area near the Dniester River at the foothills of the Carpathians, featuring forests, wetlands, and various natural habitats. The grounds contain several ecological zones with different characteristics and natural features.
The park was established in 2004 to protect the transition zone between the Carpathians and the East European Plain. This creation acknowledged the importance of this border region for conservation work.
The park's museum holds collections showing how the landscape developed over time and what role it plays for the local community today.
The park has hiking trails and a visitor center with an animal rescue station that visitors can explore. The best conditions for a visit are the warmer months when trails are more accessible.
The area contains deep lakes formed by dissolution and striking gypsum rock formations. These unusual geological structures make the park a notable example of natural karst landscapes.
