Efforts to protect nature and the landscape over a large area have recently intensified - also on the Slovak side of the Danube River. The more than thirty-year-old idea of a national park in this region, which we could give the working name "The Slovak Danube Region", has come back to life. On the Austrian side, very close to Bratislava, such a national park was established more than 20 years ago, and the Hungarians also created a national park close to border with Slovakia.
