Stawki Landscape Park

The park encompasses 1,745 hectares of wetlands, forests, and small fishing ponds called Stawki, featuring diverse ecosystems including alder forests, meadows, and marshlands with numerous streams flowing through the Wiercica river basin.

Established in 1982 by the Provincial National Council in Częstochowa, this protected area was created to preserve the unique wetland ecosystems and rare species found in the Włoszczowska Basin region of southern Poland.

The park maintains traditional fishing heritage through its historic fish ponds and reflects regional forestry practices, serving as an educational center for ecological awareness and sustainable development programs in the Silesian Voivodeship.

Open year-round with free admission, the park offers educational trails and observation points accessible from Częstochowa, though the Wielki Las reserve section remains restricted to protect sensitive habitats and endangered species.

This smallest landscape park in Poland contains 120-year-old ash and alder trees in the Wielki Las reserve, supporting rare mountain plant species like highland moonwort and providing habitat for black storks and other endangered birds.
