The park is scattered in 22 sections along the Zbytynka River valley, which runs west-to-east between the Mizotsky Ridge (a part of the [[Volhynian Upland]] to the north) and the Kremenets mountains (to the south).

Derman-Ostroh National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Дермансько-Острозький національний природний парк) sits in a river valley that separates the southern edge of the Polesian Lowland, and the northern edge of the Podolian Upland in northwestern Ukraine. The terrain is a mixture of pine-oak forest and marshy river lowlands. The park is in the southernmost region of Rivne Raion, Rivne Oblast.[1]

Topography

[edit]

The park is scattered in 22 sections along the Zbytynka River valley, which runs west-to-east between the Mizotsky Ridge (a part of the Volhynian Upland to the north) and the Kremenets mountains (to the south). The park is only a few kilometers northeast of Kremenets Mountains National Nature Park, and about 5 km west of the town of Ostroh. The valley is only 3–8 km wide, and the immediately surrounding high ground is only a few hundred meters above the valley floor. The valley floor itself is mostly an alluvial patchwork of waterlogged floodplain, first terrace, and sandy dunes.[1]

Individual sectors of the park include:

  • Bushchansky Reserve, a complex and alder and pine forests, and reed-sedge swamps,
  • Zbitensky Ornithological Reserve, a protected wetland set aside for breeding birds,
  • Mizotsky Ridge (Reserve), a geological reserve,
  • Zbytenka River floodplain (Reserve), a protected botanical reserve, with local cultural importance,
  • Olhava (Reserve), a mixed forest of conifer and deciduous trees,
  • The "Budka" Forest, with rare and medicinal plants
  • "Zinkiv Stone" Monument, a mixed forest on the Kremenets Mountains side, with rock outcroppings,
  • "Turova's grave" Monument, a section of hornbeam-oak forest, with a 400-year-old chestnut, and a 300-year-old Linden tree.
