Pyryatyn National Nature Park

Pyryatyn National Nature Park is a protected area in Poltava Oblast featuring wetlands, forests, and meadows spread across its territory. The Udai River winds through the landscape, forming diverse habitats that support different animal species and creating varied ecosystems within the park.

The area received protected status in 2009 to safeguard its natural habitats and the plant and animal diversity of Poltava region. This protection marked a commitment to conservation in this part of eastern Ukraine.

The park serves as a place where visitors encounter birds and plants found nowhere else in the region, deepening their connection to local nature. Walking through the different habitats reveals how the landscape supports a variety of life that people here value and work to protect.

The park is accessible by train to Pyriatyn station or by bus from major cities in the region. Visitors should wear proper footwear and be prepared for wet or muddy conditions, particularly in areas near water features.

The park features several walking trails, including a water route on the Udai River that lets visitors observe nature from the water. This floating perspective reveals animals and birds that might be hidden or less visible from the shore.
