Płone Bagno

Płone Bagno is a protected ecological area in the Murcki district covering about 4 hectares with bog forest and high peatland habitats. The site contains numerous plant species adapted to acidic, wet soil conditions.

The area was formerly known as Diabelskie or Czarcie Bagno, names tied to older local traditions. Official protection status came in 2002 to preserve its distinctive ecosystem.

The site carries names rooted in local folklore, and visitors come to experience the natural landscape and its ecological character. The wetland setting shapes how people experience and value this place.

The site is accessible via the Ochojski Trail, which offers good opportunities for nature observation. The wetland terrain requires careful footing, as ground conditions are wet and muddy.

The site hosts rare bird species including the Eurasian bittern alongside specialized plants like common cottongrass and cranberry. These species thrive only in the unique conditions of this peatland habitat.
