Cigoc: Stork Villages, Lonjsko polje Nature Park
Cigoč straddles the Sava River floodplain in Sisak-Moslavina County, and its low-lying position has long tied village life to the wetlands of Lonjsko Polje. This small settlement lies within Lonjsko Polje Nature Park, a protected mosaic of floodplain forest, pasture and waterways in central Croatia. Cigoč is known as the Stork Village: white storks regularly nest on roofs and chimneys among traditional wooden houses. The village belongs to the European Stork Villages network, recognising communities that protect breeding storks and their habitat. Old Posavina timber architecture and open grazing land preserve a distinctly rural cultural landscape, while the Sava remains the region’s defining river.

Built around the Sava and Kupa river corridors, Sisak-Moslavina County grew into a lowland Croatian region where river trade, farming and wetland life have long intersected. Sisak, the county seat, stands at the confluence of the Kupa and Sava on the site of Roman Siscia, once an important settlement in the province of Pannonia. East of the city, Lonjsko Polje Nature Park preserves a broad Sava floodplain of seasonally inundated grasslands, oak forests and traditional wooden architecture in its settlements. The county also reaches into the wooded Moslavina area and the Kupa valley around Petrinja. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Sisak-Moslavina County.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
