Nida Landscape Park, Nature reserve in Jędrzejów County, Poland.
Nida Landscape Park is a protected area along the Nida River in the Świętokrzyskie region, featuring numerous meanders and old riverbeds that shape the terrain. The landscape includes meadows, forests, and wetland habitats that support diverse plant and animal life.
The park was established in 1986 to protect the natural river landscapes and was later recognized as a Natura 2000 protected area under EU legislation. This designation reflected Poland's commitment to safeguarding wetlands and river systems for future generations.
The park serves as an important stopping point for migratory birds and supports a rich diversity of wetland species that depend on the river system. Locals value it as a place where nature's rhythms are clearly visible throughout the seasons.
The park can be reached through several entry points across the Świętokrzyskie region, with information stations available to help orient visitors. It is best to wear appropriate footwear and clothing as some areas can be damp, especially near the river.
The park contains remarkable gypsum crystal formations underground that are among the largest in the region, formed through geological processes over millions of years. These hidden geological features make the subsurface landscape as interesting as the visible terrain above.
