National Parks in Europe
Compiled 2008.01.02-05
There are more protected nature areas with different names to be found in
Europe. Nature Reserves, Nature Parks, Special Protection Areas, etc, etc.
This is only a list of all the parks that are officially called a "National
Park". I always tried to use official or otherwise trustworthy looking
sites when deciding what numbers to use. Sometimes I could only find one source
and didn't have the luxury of a choice. A couple of the numbers I calculated
by myself by measuring maps on the screen. And a few times I found neither
numbers nor maps, so I sent e-mails to get some answers. But as of today,
there are still some empty slots on the list.
