Zakole Wawerskie, Nature reserve in Wawer district, Warsaw, Poland
The reserve contains water channels, wetlands, and the large Żabie Lake, spanning across 55 hectares of natural terrain within city boundaries.
The area formed around 10,000 years ago during post-glacial times when the Vistula River changed its course, creating this distinctive oxbow formation.
The reserve holds educational sessions about local wildlife, offering Warsaw residents direct contact with natural ecosystems within their urban environment.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple walking paths that connect with other green spaces in Warsaw's eastern districts.
The wetland houses one-fourth of all plant species found in Warsaw and maintains bird diversity comparable to Białowieża Forest.
