In spring and autumn, the area becomes largely flooded and the flood may persist up to 100 days. The park has a rich collection of oak woods and a large number of bird species. The stork population stands out amongst the variety of birds and in 1994 the village of Cigoc even received the award “European stork village” by the European Nature Foundation.

This is ideal for sporty tourists who want to explore the park by bike or kayak and be enchanted by the fauna and flora. Families and groups also have the option to book guided tours.
