Overview

The Łomża Landscape Park, officially known as the Łomżyński Park Krajobrazowy Doliny Narwi, protects the unique riparian valley of the Narew River. It encompasses a vast area of wetlands, oxbow lakes, and marshy meadows characterized by a high diversity of flora and fauna. The park serves as a critical nesting and feeding site for numerous migratory bird species, including rare raptors and waterfowl. The administrative headquarters and a museum are located in the historic Lutosławski manor in Drozdowo. The landscape is shaped by the meandering river, which forms a complex system of channels and floodplains. Visitors can explore elevated observation points that offer expansive views of the riverbed and surrounding reed beds. The park is integrated into a larger network of protected areas in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
