Dombóvári Szigeterdő is a preserved woodland park situated on an island-like formation within the town of Dombóvár, Hungary. The area is defined by its dense canopy of mature trees and a network of pathways designed for walking and light recreation. It serves as a primary green lung for the local municipality, functioning as both a recreational space and a habitat for local flora and fauna.
