Rezerwat przyrody Wisła, Nature reserve in Wisła, Poland.
Rezerwat przyrody Wisła is a nature reserve in the mountains of southern Poland that protects two mountain streams and their surrounding forests. The woodland changes character as elevation increases, shifting from dense conifer forest to lighter beech forest zones.
The reserve was established in 1959 through an official decree to protect the fragile mountain ecosystems. It has remained an important refuge for rare plant and animal species found in the Carpathian mountains.
The reserve features over 200 vascular plant species, including protected specimens like the mountain arnica and common moonwort ferns.
The reserve has marked trails that allow visitors to explore the forest while observing local wildlife. Access is possible throughout the year, though the best conditions occur during the warmer months.
The area is known for brown trout that live in the clear mountain streams and use them for spawning. These fish are perfectly adapted to cold mountain waters.
