The Ormož Basins Nature Park is a 55 hectares large wetland of anthropogenic formation, situated in the area of the ecosystem of the river Drava near Lake Ormož. It is composed of shallow pools with reeds and bulrush, and surrounded by a flooded forest, a rare remnant of the soft-wooded river meadow in Slovenia. The wetland is of exceptional national and international significance for many endangered bird species.

Ormož Basins are an important nesting place of water birds and a key stop for migratory birds in Slovenia; 29 nesting species of water birds, including endangered and rare species have been reported. In the large stands of reeds nests also the brown harrier, a species that can be found only in this region of Slovenia. At the time of migration, 30 species regularly appear, and their number during the migration period can reach tens of thousands of birds.

The vegetation in the natural reserve is managed by the grazing of water buffaloes, which are especially adapted to the aquatic environment and are our indispensable assistant. The Ormož Lake, located in the immediate vicinity, is extremely interesting in all seasons.

The nature reserve with a well-organized infrastructure is open to the public. The quality of the experience of nature is provided by the learning path with observatories and a visitor centre, which is also adapted for groups with special needs, while guided excursions ensure an educational programme for young people and other groups of visitors.
