geography

location

The park is located in the Kotlina Żmigrodzka and Milicki (German Trachenberger and Militscher basins ) along the river Barycz (German Bartsch ) and covers a total area of 870.4 km ² . More than 80% of the area is located in the districts of Trzebnica , Milicz and Oleśnica in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship . The rest of the area is in the Ostrów Wielkopolski district of the Greater Poland Voivodeship .

structure

Within the park are five Rezerwaty Przyrody (German nature reserves ), IUCN Category IV protected areas . These include the nature reserves of Wydymacz, Radziądz, Olszyny Niezgodzkie, Stawy Milickie and Wzgórze Joanny. Furthermore, large parts of the park are located in the European protected areas, Specjalny Obszar Ochrony Siedlisk (SOO) Ostoja nad Baryczą and Obszar Specjalnej Ochrony Ptaków (OSO) Dolina Baryczy. These belong to the European network of protected areas, Natura 2000 . The aforementioned nature reserves are also included in both protected areas.

The reserve Olszyny Niezgodzkie located in southern Niezgoda (Nesigode) and has an area of 74 ha. The flora of the area is by swamps embossed and forest area. The 8-hectare Radziądz reserve is located in a wooded area north of Żmigród (Trachenberg) and the Wzgórze Joanny (Johannashöh) reserve is located in a 24-hectare wooded area near the village of Postolin (Postel). The Wydymacz reserve extends over 46 hectares to the east of the park and includes a forest area with a pond . The Stawy Milickie Reserve (Militscher Lake District) consists of five collections of ponds, which are scattered in the landscape protection park. These are the Kompleks Jamnik (German: Jamnik-Teich) south of Ruda Żmigrodzka (Hammer-Trachenberg), the periodic ponds at Stawno (German: Unterer Schwellwitzteich, Grabosnitzeteich, Gollitzer Teich, Hans-Heinrich-Teich, Eleonorenteich, Neue Welt- Pond), the ponds near Radziądz (Radziunz, Alt-Teich, Elens-Teich), the ponds near Ruda Sułowska (Hammer-Sulau, Tschasnofketeich, Fruschketeich, Grabofker Teich, Sprenitzeteich, Drosiskenteich). The area has a size of 53.24 km ² .

The SOO Ostoja nad Baryczą has for the most part the dimensions of the landscape protection park and has a size of 820.26 km ² . The OSO Dolina Baryczy extends over an area of 555.16 km ² within the landscape protection park. It is particularly used for bird protection and includes swamps and ponds along the Barycz .

Flora and fauna

The park is characterized by meadows , forests , swamps and collections of ponds that serve as a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The ponds cover a total area of 75 km ² and are therefore a special feature of the park. In the course of a study, five reptile, 13 amphibian, 34 fish, 56 mammal and 240 bird species as well as large populations of the yellow pond rose ( Nuphar lutea ) and the common swimming fern ( Salvinia natans ) in the park. In addition, 14 plant and animal species could be identified from Annex II of the Habitats Directive , which are particularly in need of protection in the EU. These include, for example, the great oak buck ( Cerambyx cerdo ) and the hermit ( Osmoderma eremita ).

history

In the Middle Ages , Cistercian monks probably created the first ponds along the Barycz and used them for fish farming . In 1995, large sections of the ponds were designated as nature reserves, which are now a central element of the park. On June 3, 1996, the Bartschtal landscape protection park was founded and in 2004 parts of the park were included in the European network of protected areas, Natura 2000 .
