Rezerwat Przyrody Łosiowe Błota, Nature reserve in Las Bemowo, Poland
Łosiowe Błota Nature Reserve is a protected wetland area in Warsaw composed of peat bogs, marshes, and forested sections covering around 31 hectares. Wooden platforms guide visitors through willow thickets and alder forests, with interpretive panels positioned along the main trail.
The reserve was established in 1980 by the Ministry of Forestry and Timber Industry to protect the distinctive peat bog ecosystem of the Warsaw Basin. This action preserved an important natural habitat from potential development and environmental disruption.
The wooden pathways reveal how animals move through wetland habitats, with visible trails and signs of moose, boars, and deer that inhabit the reserve. This place demonstrates how wildlife persists in natural spaces near the city.
The reserve is best reached by car with parking available near Leskiego Street, or by taking buses 154 and 320 that stop at the Fort Radiowo loop station. Sturdy footwear is advisable since wooden platforms can become slippery when wet.
Moose regularly migrate from the nearby Kampinos National Park into the reserve, making this one of the few places near the capital where visitors might encounter these large animals. These seasonal movements reveal how natural habitats function as connected ecosystems.
