What is a PAN Park?

Visiting a PAN Park means you are visiting the best of Europe's wilderness. A PAN Park offers real wilderness with outstanding nature and high-quality tourism facilities, well balanced with wilderness protection and sustainable local development.
In a PAN Park the landscape is of outstanding  beauty, its extraordinary natural values are among our most valuable European treasures and heritage. The well-protected area's great size gives wildlife a real space to thrive.

In a PAN Park, the nature you enjoy has been protected according to the best European practices. Animals can roam free and plants are safe to thrive in true wilderness. The park management co-operates closely with the people who live around the park.
Local PAN Parks partners, offering high-quality facilities and working together with the park, are recognised by  the PAN Parks logo based on environmental standards and their commitment to conservation; this guarantees that your visit contributes to the protection of nature. These partners are knowledgeable about the park and help visitors discover wilderness firsthand. They offer exciting activities to enable you to have a unique experience of European wilderness!
