Drawsko Landscape Park, Nature reserve in Szczecinek County, Poland.
Landschaftsschutzpark Dramburg stretches across 414 square kilometers in north-western Poland and combines lakes, glacial formations, and forested areas into one varied landscape. The territory contains eight separate nature reserves with different protection levels, with the Drawa River flowing through the entire region.
The area received official protection status as a landscape park in 1979, becoming part of Poland's national network of conservation areas. This designation reflected growing international concern for protecting Europe's remaining natural ecosystems from industrial development.
The park takes its name from the Drawa River, which flows through the landscape and shapes its character throughout the year. Local communities have adapted their traditional activities to work alongside conservation, using designated zones for fishing and forestry in ways that respect the protected areas.
The park has marked hiking trails that lead through different landscape types and several viewing points for observation. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the terrain varies significantly, from open lakeshores to dense forest areas and boggy sections.
The park contains large collections of erratic boulders scattered across the landscape, transported from the north by glaciers millennia ago and now forming distinctive features in the terrain. These ice-age stones give the moorland its unique character and serve as natural landmarks for hikers.
