Nature reserve Bór Chrobotkowy

Nature reserve Bór Chrobotkowy covers about 41 hectares and is shaped by pine forests that dominate the landscape. The area supports around 70 different lichen species that define the ecosystem.

The area was designated as a protected reserve on December 31, 1993 by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. This decision aimed to safeguard the region's special ecosystems for the future.

The name reflects the Polish term for lichen forest, showing how the region values its natural features. Visitors can sense this appreciation in the way the pine woodlands are carefully maintained.

The reserve is reachable by the Chojnice-Kościerzyna railway line, with Lubnia station serving as the nearest access point. When visiting, expect terrain that follows natural paths and sturdy footwear is recommended.

The reserve holds Poland's largest lowland population of the lichen species Cladonia stellaris and is one of only two lowland sites for Flavocetraria nivalis. These rare species make the area particularly noteworthy for lichen researchers.
