Nature reserve Źródło Królewskie, Nature reserve in Kozienicka Forest, Poland
Nature reserve Źródło Królewskie is a woodland area in Kozienicka Forest with deciduous forests, mixed woodlands, and natural wetlands along the Zagożdżonka River. Four major springs shape the landscape and form the heart of this protected site.
The reserve was established in 2000 to protect natural springs where, according to records, King Władysław Jagiełło stopped during his hunting expeditions. This location held significance in the forest's history over many centuries.
The main spring with its sandstone walls reflects the medieval royal hunting heritage of this forest. Visitors can sense how this location once served as a stopping point during noble expeditions.
Wooden walkways connect the four main springs and allow safe exploration of the area. The paths protect the sensitive environment from foot traffic and wet conditions.
The site houses over 200 plant species, including protected varieties such as mezereum, giant horsetail, and common ivy. This botanical richness makes it a valuable refuge for specialized woodland plants.
