| The Park of Nature Papuk is opened throughout
the year for all visitors. The area of Park is characteristic
for the beautiful forest landscapes. There are numerous places
one can visit and find out more about them, and each visitor
can find something for him/her self: geological specificities,
botanically interested areas, historical buildings, and archaeological
findings. The visit to the Park offers a lot more then the common
field trip. Regardless of the interest one has, there would
be always something new and exciting that waits to be discovered. |
