Drawsko Landscape Park, Nature reserve in Szczecinek County, Poland.
Landschaftsschutzpark Dramburg is a nature reserve in north-western Poland that brings together lakes, forests, and moorland in one connected area. The Drawa River runs through the entire region, linking eight separate nature reserves that each have their own level of protection.
The area was officially designated a landscape park in 1979 as part of Poland's growing network of protected areas. That decision came at a time when concern for the future of Europe's remaining natural land was rising across the continent.
The park takes its name from the Drawa River, which runs through it from north to south and feeds many of its lakes. Fishing and forestry continue in designated zones, showing how protection and everyday use can exist side by side.
Marked trails lead through the different landscape types, from open lakeshores to dense forest and boggy ground. The terrain changes a lot depending on where you walk, so sturdy footwear is a good idea before heading out.
Large boulders are scattered across the park, carried south by glaciers long ago and now sitting in the open moorland or just inside the tree line. These ice-age stones are easy to spot along many of the trails and serve as natural landmarks in an otherwise flat landscape.
