Nature reserve Świdwie

Nature reserve Świdwie is a large lake area with surrounding wetlands, peat bogs, and reed beds in northwestern Poland. The site combines open water surfaces with dense reed beds and marshy zones that create different habitats for wildlife.

The reserve was legally established in 1963 to protect this landscape and its wildlife. It later gained international recognition for its importance as a wetland where migrating birds stop to rest and feed.

The reserve attracts bird watchers and nature lovers who come to observe species in their natural habitat. Visitors gain insight into how water birds depend on wetlands and reed beds for survival and breeding.

The area can be explored on marked trails that lead through different habitats and offer viewing points. Bringing binoculars and a bird identification guide will help you see and understand the species you encounter.

The area serves as a crucial stopover point for migratory birds that return here on their long journeys between northern and southern regions. White-tailed eagles are regular visitors that hunt in this region because of its abundant fish.
