Nature reserve Łężczok, Nature reserve in Racibórz, Poland.

The Łężczok Nature Reserve spans 477 hectares within the Racibórz Valley, containing eight medieval fish ponds and extensive riparian forests.

The area gained its first environmental protection status in 1922, before being formally established as a nature reserve by the Ministry of Forestry in 1957.

Traditional fish farming methods continue in the eight historic ponds, which were established by Cistercian monks between the 14th and 15th centuries.

Two marked hiking trails and one bicycle path cross through the reserve, providing access to educational paths that showcase various ecosystems.

The reserve houses 51 percent of all bird species found in Poland, with over 190 different species inhabiting this protected area.
