Derman-Ostroh National Nature Park

Derman-Ostroh National Nature Park is a protected area in the Ostroh region with mixed forest and wetland landscapes. The park contains pine-oak woodlands, marshy lowlands, and water channels that create a varied natural environment across its territory.

The area received official protection status in 2009 to preserve the habitats and ecological diversity of the region. This decision recognized the importance of the lowlands and wetlands for the natural heritage of eastern Europe.

The park takes its name from the Derman River and represents an area traditionally used by local communities for fishing and forestry. The wetlands and lowlands have long served as places where people gathered resources and food from nature.

Visitors can explore the park on foot or by bicycle using several trails of varying length. Wear sturdy footwear and prepare for changing ground conditions, especially in the wetter sections where walking can be muddy.

The Bashchanskyj bog contains rare types of marsh plants that appear in only a few places across Europe. These plant communities have adapted to the special soil chemistry and water conditions found in this area.
