Regulations

The legal basis for the operation of the National Park is the Nature Protection Act. All important provisions for management of the Park’s territory are derived from this act.

In the Nature Protection Act, a “national park” is defined as follows:

„…a large, predominantly unmodified land and/or sea area of outstanding and multiple natural values. It includes one or more conserved or slightly modified ecosystems and is primarily intended for conservation of the intact natural values. A national park has scientific, cultural, educational and recreational purposes. In a national park only those activities are permitted that do not pose any threat to the authenticity of nature. In a national park all economic use of natural resources is prohibited.”
