Brodnicki Park Krajobrazowy
The Brodnicki Park Krajobrazowy ( German Landscape Protection Park Brodnica or Strasburg ) is a landscape protection park of the IUCN Category V: Protected Landscape . It was created in 1985 as the 25th protected area of its kind in Poland .
Location and area
The landscape park is located in the provinces Kujawy and Warmia-Mazury lake district north of the city Brodnica (Strasburg at the Drewenz) . The total area of the park is 16,685 hectares .
history
An important proponent of the park was Professor Zygmunt Czubiński , who already called for this type of nature reserve to be created before the Second World War . After 1945, most of the areas he proposed were placed under protection and the park was established on March 29, 1985. In 2005, the park was expanded to include Lake Bachotek and marshland in the Drwęca Valley ( Drewenz , Polish "Bagienna Dolina Drwęcy").
landscape
The park area was formed by glaciers. Most of the area is a hilly moraine plateau with numerous depressions in which lakes and peat bogs have formed. These are connected by a network of watercourses and canals and form a dense hydrological system (eight percent of the park area is water) of great tourist value. Most of the plateau is covered with forests. A typical forest-lake landscape has developed here.
Several nature reserves are also designated within the landscape protection area: Bachotek nature reserve (peat bog), Jar Grądowy Cielęta nature reserve (forest), Mieliwo nature reserve (forest), Okonek nature reserve (peat bog), Retno nature reserve (forest), Drwęca nature reserve ( Fauna reserve), Stręszek nature reserve (peat bog), Wyspa na Jeziorze Partęczyny Wielkie nature reserve (flora reserve), Żurawie-Bagno nature reserve (peat bog).
Lakes and peat bogs
There are 58 lakes in the park with an area of more than one hectare, including the Wielkie Partęczyny , Sosno , Łąkorek and Zbiczno lakes . The total area of the lakes is 1,790 hectares.
Peat bogs are an important part of the park. The most common are fens. Some moors (okonek) were already placed under protection before 1939.
Woods
Mixed forests and alluvial forests cover 40 percent of the park area. The Scots pine dominates the stand. There are also common oak, black alder, red beech, common ash, birch, hornbeam, elm and willow. There are also mixed stands of beech and wild service tree and near Polish larch , sycamore and yew . The spruce was introduced; it grows outside of its natural range. Black willow , Banks pine and red oak are rarely found .
139 important plant species have been identified in the mixed forests: including lily of the valley , wiry Schmiele , bracken , low salsify and wintergreen . In the damp forest you can find bear moss and blueberries, among other things . Predominate deciduous forest oak-hornbeam forests with wood anemone , lesser celandine , Gefingertem Corydalis and thalictrum shell flowers (the only location in Pomerania). King ferns are found in alder forests and yellow lady's slipper in oak and hornbeam forests .
