Shared between Greater Poland and Lower Silesian Voivodeship, the Barycz River Valley Landscape Park is a geographical fracture of wetlands, pastures and lilypad-shaped islands, thriving with plant and wildlife. Despite its status as a 'Special Protection Area', being the home of many rare species of birds and fish, nature-friendly tourism is ample and very much encouraged by the authorities. We mentioned horse-riding before, but hiking, cycling and, of course, kayaking are all possible in the reserve. Those who are more mindful about the natural world may prefer to engage in birdwatching!
