Stobrawa Landscape Park Adventures

Established in 1999, Stobrawa Landscape Park (Park Krajobrazowy Stobrawski) spans roughly 526 square kilometers in the Opole Voivodeship of southwestern Poland. The park protects one of the largest lowland forest complexes in the region, dominated by mixed pine and deciduous woodlands alongside the Stobrawa River and its tributaries. The terrain is gently rolling, with a mosaic of forests, meadows, wetlands, and small agricultural areas, supporting a rich biodiversity including important species such as elk, roe deer, wild boar, and numerous bird species like black storks and white-tailed eagles. Historically, the area has been sparsely populated, preserving its natural landscape with remnants of old rural traditions and some small villages at the edge of the park. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Stobrawa Landscape Park for hiking, birdwatching, biking, and fishing in the riverine habitats. Several marked trails for hikers and cyclists traverse the forest and connect scattered nature reserves within the park. The park is also valued as a peaceful nature retreat with limited tourist infrastructure, allowing visitors to enjoy solitude and experience the changing seasons in a pristine lowland forest environment. Notable features include the Stobrawa River valley, traditional rural architecture along park borders, and protected peat bog habitats. Its relatively low visitor density makes it ideal for those seeking quiet immersion in nature while exploring Poland’s forest landscapes.
