Rare coastal floodplain ecosystem with wetlands, dunes and ancient forests on Turkey's Black Sea border
İğneada Floodplain Forests National Park
İğneada Floodplain Forests National Park is a distinctive protected area in the European part of Turkey, located in Kırklareli Province along the Turkish-Bulgarian border near the Black Sea coast. Established in November 2007, the park protects one of Turkey's rare and ecologically significant floodplain ecosystems, where streams descending from the Strandzha mountain range have deposited alluvium over centuries, creating a complex landscape of marshes, swamps, lakes, and coastal sand dunes. The park encompasses approximately 3,155 hectares and represents a rare example of a Mediterranean-influenced wetland system in northwestern Turkey. Its location at the crossroads of European and Asian ecological zones gives the park exceptional biodiversity value, with habitats ranging from freshwater lakes and lagoons to ancient deciduous forests and vulnerable coastal dune systems.
