Overview

Sierakowski Landscape Park, established in 1991, spans approximately 30,000 hectares in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The terrain is defined by post-glacial landforms, including numerous tunnel valleys and hills resulting from the Vistula glaciation. Over 70% of the park is covered by forests, primarily composed of pine, oak, and beech stands. The area contains over 20 lakes, with Lake Lutomskie and Lake Jaroszewskie being among the most prominent bodies of water. The Warta River flows through the park, creating a distinct riparian corridor for diverse avian species. It serves as a protected habitat for rare flora and protected fauna, including white-tailed eagles and black storks. The landscape is characterized by high moraine hills that reach altitudes exceeding 100 meters above sea level. Several designated nature reserves are located within the park boundaries, such as the Bukowa Buława reserve. The site is a popular destination for water sports, hiking, and cycling enthusiasts.

Insider tips

Bring polarized sunglasses to reduce glare on the lakes, which is helpful for spotting aquatic bird life.

Use the marked 'Szlak Stu Jezior' (Hundred Lakes Trail) if cycling, as it offers the best terrain coverage.

Carry a map specifically for forest roads, as GPS signals can be inconsistent in dense woodland valleys.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim in lakes marked as nature reserves; only use designated public beaches in Sieraków.

Etiquette

Stick to marked trails to protect sensitive post-glacial soil and nesting sites; quiet observation is requested to avoid startling wildlife.
