Noskovci

Noskovci is a Drava-side village in the Municipality of Čađavica whose principal visitor attraction is Dravska priča, an interpretation centre housed in the former country residence of Count Drašković. Its roughly 800 square metres contain multimedia exhibits about the Drava, a biological research station, teaching rooms and accommodation with 34 beds. The experience extends into the surrounding grounds, with educational features, an insect hotel, a recovery facility for white storks and spaces used for birds of prey and tortoises. Noskovci sits within the wider river landscape of the Mura–Drava–Danube Biosphere Reserve, making the village a useful starting point for understanding floodplain forests, wetlands and Drava wildlife. Dravska priča provides guided visits and outdoor-school programmes, while both the centre and its park are adapted for visitors with reduced mobility. County buses serve Noskovci, but limited departures and the spread-out riverside landscape make a car the more flexible option for a day trip.

Noskovci stands apart from neighbouring Drava villages through its combination of an aristocratic residence and modern nature interpretation. Dravska priča occupies the former country house of Count Drašković, with exhibitions devoted to river biodiversity and the relationship between local communities and the Drava. The centre contains a biological research station, teaching spaces and accommodation totalling 34 beds. Its grounds also support the care of white storks, birds of prey and tortoises, making Noskovci a place of practical wildlife conservation as well as interpretation. Its position within the Mura–Drava–Danube Biosphere Reserve connects the village to an internationally recognised system of floodplain forests, wet grasslands and river habitats.
