Tips from the Community
Staw Nadrybski is a reservoir that was created after the land subsided as a result of hard coal mining. Due to the fact that the place became a bird habitat, it was protected, and in 2015 an educational path around the reservoir was opened (thanks to the cooperation of the Polish Society for the Protection of Birds (OTOP) and the Bogdanka mine).

The Brzezinki Forest is located east of Lake Łukie, in the Poleski National Park. Going east, at the intersection of roads, there is a tourist shelter with tables and wooden benches, an ideal place to relax in the bosom of nature.

One of many amenities prepared by the Polesie National Park on the "Czahara" educational route for visitors. From the observation tower you will be able to see Bagno Bubnów from above. Along the route, you will also have the opportunity to use tourist shelters to have a snack in the bosom of nature and wooden viewing platforms.

The "Czahary" educational trail is a great proposition of the Poleski National Park to learn the secrets of the tracks and visit the largest peat bog of the Park: Bagno Bubnów. The route is approximately 6.5 kilometers long and starts in the town of Zastawie at the observation tower. You can leave your car there, but if you are traveling with a disabled person, there is also another parking lot available, right next to the place where the footbridges begin. The paths are adapted for wheelchairs and strollers. If you don't feel up to it, the route can be shortened by about 1.5 kilometers (alternative route), but I sincerely recommend walking the entire route, bird watching (cranes, birds with the coat of arms of the Polesie National Park love this place) and relaxing in this charming environment . Maybe you'll also see a moose if you're lucky? Remember that admission to the path is subject to a fee, you can buy a ticket at the Educational and Administrative Center and the Educational and Museum Center, as well as via the eParki.pl platform at https://poleskipn.eparki.pl/.

Just behind the Educational and Museum Center of the Polesie National Park in Stare Załucz, at the end of the short nature trail "Żółwik", we can see a pond with these nice animals. The path was created mainly for children, who can learn about the life of the European pond turtle, the structure of the forest, etc. through play.

Lake Łukie is one of the largest reservoirs in the Polesie National Park, which offers beautiful landscapes and diverse ecosystems. It is a popular place for nature lovers and tourists who want to enjoy peace and observe the local fauna and flora. We can reach this view point on the pier via the "Spławy" nature trail, less than 4 kilometers from the Educational and Museum Center of the Polesie National Park.
