Przemków Landscape Park, Landscape park and nature reserve in Żagań County, Poland
Przemków Landscape Park is a protected landscape area in Żagań County, Poland, established in 1997. It consists of large pine forests, fish ponds, wetlands, and open fields, with four smaller protected zones set aside within its boundaries.
The park was formally designated in 1997 to protect the forests and wetlands of this part of Lower Silesia. The surrounding land has been inhabited for much longer, with traces of Bronze Age settlements and old churches from the 17th and 18th centuries still standing nearby.
Near the village of Piotrowice, there is a pedunculate oak called 'Chrobry' that is believed to be the oldest of its kind in Poland, around 720 years old. Visitors come to stand beneath its broad branches and see it up close as a protected natural monument.
Two marked paths run through the park, one through the forests near Przemków and one around the ponds, making it easy to explore on foot or by bike. The terrain is mostly flat, so the routes are accessible to most visitors regardless of fitness level.
Since 2010, European ground squirrels have been reintroduced near Jakubowo Lubińskie, bringing back a species that had disappeared from this region. The park also has a sand dune formation called Pasternik, which is an unusual landform for this part of Poland and marks the highest point in the area.
