More than 2,300 species live in Kopački rit Nature Park, including around 140 breeding bird species. These figures provide a concrete picture of the natural area; the activities on offer add different ways to experience the park.

Kopački rit Nature Park: biodiversity and activities

The park offers tourist boat tours, canoe trips with expert guidance, and cycling tours through the park. The options can be distinguished by mode of transport: boat tours and canoe trips take place on the water, while cycling tours are by bicycle. Expert guidance is explicitly included in the canoe trips. So when deciding, it is not only the natural surroundings that matter, but also the type of activity. If you would prefer a water-based activity, you can choose between a tourist boat tour and a canoe trip with expert guidance; cycling tours are another distinct option.

Wildlife and nature conservation

In Markovac Našički, Zoološki vrt obitelji Bizik is home to more than 90 animal species. It also serves as an educational center for biodiversity, nature conservation and animal protection. The number of species gives an idea of the range of wildlife, while the educational role broadens the focus to the topics behind it: preserving biodiversity and protecting animals. This makes the zoo appealing to travelers who want to consider animal species and nature conservation as connected topics. Alongside the activities in the nature park, it offers another way to explore biodiversity, this time through an explicitly stated educational mission.

Events in Našice

Dani slavonske šume puts regional products and food in the spotlight. The traditional event takes place every autumn in Perivoj Pejačević in Našice and includes a market for products from rural Slavonia, as well as tastings of traditional Slavonian dishes. The market and tastings complement each other: the program features both products from the rural region and its cuisine. If you are particularly interested in regional produce and food, this recurring autumn event offers a clear thematic focus.

Našička viteška priča offers a different cultural focus. Around the Church of St. Martin in Našice, the event features knightly tournaments, skills and everyday life in the Middle Ages. While Dani slavonske šume highlights regional products and food, Našička viteška priča explores medieval themes. You can therefore distinguish between the two events according to very different interests: regional cuisine and rural products on the one hand, and tournaments, skills and everyday life in the Middle Ages on the other.

Museum and monument in the county

Zavičajni muzej Našice is located in the protected park of Pejačević Castle and preserves valuable historical and art-historical collections. The collections provide a different cultural focus from the events: here, historical and art-historical holdings take center stage, while Našička viteška priča presents medieval themes. This means you can explore historical interests through both collections and an event.

In Darda, Esterhazy Castle is classified as a protected monument of the second category. This classification adds a distinct monument-related aspect to the museums and events on offer. Together, the places and events mentioned give the county a range of cultural themes to include in your travel plans alongside the nature park and wildlife.
