About Łężyca Landscape Park

 

Łężyca Landscape Park, located in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship of northwestern Poland, encompasses a diverse range of ecosystems including broadleaf and coniferous forests, numerous lakes, wetlands, and meadows. Established in 1981, the park aims to protect the region’s natural landscapes and cultural heritage while providing opportunities for sustainable recreation. The varied terrain, shaped by glacial activity, features rolling hills and peat bogs, creating habitats for a wide array of flora and fauna. Especially notable is the park’s richness in bird species, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers. Visitors can explore several marked trails that pass through ancient forests and alongside quiet lakeshores, enabling them to experience peaceful nature walks, photography, and wildlife observation. The park also protects several historic landmarks including traditional village architecture and archaeological sites that tell the story of human settlement in the area. Recreational activities focus on low-impact outdoor pursuits such as hiking, cycling on designated paths, and winter cross-country skiing. The park does not feature developed campgrounds but nearby accommodations offer easy access for day trips and longer stays. Łężyca Landscape Park is an ideal getaway for nature lovers seeking a quiet, less crowded environment where they can connect with nature and local history in a well-preserved setting.
