Lonjsko Polje Nature Park and a visit to Cigoc -Stork Paradise

Five hundred square kilometres of forests, pastures and meadows offer a unique insight into the past of European riverine landscapes. Nowhere has so much diversity been preserved along the rivers of Central Europe. Cigos, a small village of Lonjsko polje with its beautiful, authentic wooden houses, has been declared a European village of storks in 1994. There are 8 more villages in Europe holding that title, but only Cigoc can boast with more storks than inhabitants. About fifty pairs of white storks nest in the village inhabited with only 124 inhabitants. Everything you eat here was bred or caught in this area. Interesting museum of the old crafts and tools which is situated 50 meters down the road is also a must. Cigoc is a great destination for one-day excursions. No other place offers such wonderful combination of pleasures on one spot.
