About Rivnenskyi Regional Landscape Park

Rivnenskyi Regional Landscape Park
 

Rivnenskyi Regional Landscape Park is located in the Rivne Oblast of northwestern Ukraine. Established to preserve natural landscapes characterized by mixed forests, wetlands, and river valleys, the park spans a variety of ecological zones that support numerous plant and animal species. The terrain includes gently rolling hills, river floodplains of the Styr and Horyn rivers, and scattered small lakes. The park's diverse habitats support species such as European bison, elk, lynx, and an abundance of birdlife, including rare and protected species. The park holds historical significance as well, with archaeological sites and remnants of traditional rural settlements appearing throughout the area. Visitors have access to several marked hiking trails that traverse scenic forest roads and riverbanks, offering opportunities for birdwatching, photography, and nature study. Seasonal activities include snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during winter months. Rivnenskyi Regional Landscape Park is valued for its quiet, natural settings and relatively undisturbed environment, providing a refuge away from urban areas. It also plays an essential role in environmental education and local conservation efforts. Facilities remain modest, emphasizing low-impact recreation and promoting awareness about preserving the area's ecological integrity. The park appeals to visitors interested in experiencing Ukraine’s natural beauty, traditional landscapes, and wildlife in a tranquil and accessible setting.
