The Barycz Valley Landscape Park extends across 87,040 hectares, featuring extensive fish ponds, wetlands, meadows, and pine forests along the Barycz River.

The park's fish ponds, established during medieval times, represent one of Europe's largest aquaculture systems, with the Stawno complex covering 1,630 hectares.

The protected area contains numerous archaeological sites and religious buildings, including medieval earthworks and baroque timber churches across nine municipalities.

Seven educational trails and 200 kilometers of marked paths provide access to observation points for studying the 277 bird species within the park.

The reserve includes 121 different plant communities and maintains 7,500 hectares of fish ponds, creating essential habitats for endangered species listed in the Polish Red Book.
