About park
Enthusiasts of water activities will be amused with the festival of extreme water tourism called “Polissia Regatta”. Fans of the traditional Ukrainian cuisine will be surprised by the tastes of archaic culinary culture of Polissia such as fish dried in the oven. Bird-watching lovers have an opportunity to see the rare azure tit (Cyanistes cyanus) and aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) through their binoculars. In forests, you can meet elks or wild boars; there are also beavers on the rivers and lakes. Real aesthetic pleasure awaits the admirers of aquatic flora — there grow white water lilies (Nymphaea alba) and dwarf white water lilies (Nymphaea candida) as well as yellow water lilies (Nuphar lutea).
