The paper focuses on landscape-architectural solutions with an emphasis on promoting recreational activities in the forest park Rybník. The proposed solutions integrate various artistic elements of a natural character into the park's environment to enhance its aesthetic value and overall attractiveness. The aim is to create a multifunctional space that offers diverse opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and education for visitors of all age groups.
The educational aspect of the space will allow children to engage with nature in a fun and interactive way. The introduction of new features and activities will contribute to improving the quality of life in the area, enhancing the landscape character, and creating an appealing leisure space for visitors.
The design proposals are inspired by local natural elements, as well as the region’s wine and fruit-growing traditions. The project, which explores various alternative solutions with an emphasis on recreation, was developed in collaboration with students from the Institute of Landscape Architecture at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra for the Communal Land Association  Rybník.
