The “Danube-Drava” National Park was established in 1996.  It comprises the entire length of the Drava within Hungarian territory and the extensive floodplain system of “Gemenc-Béda Karapancsa” along the Danube. The large floodplain forests and wetlands are a major feeding and breeding ground for some 110 bird species including heron, cormorant colonies and a high density of kingfishers. The area is home to the largest population of black stork in Hungary.
