Nature reserve Zabór
Nature reserve Zabor is a wetland forest in the Lower Silesian Plain covering about 35 hectares, bordered by channels and forest roads, and home to over 130 plant species. The woodland consists mainly of black alder and oak trees with boggy meadows where rare animal species such as the Dalmatian frog inhabit.
The reserve was established on July 27, 1959 to protect the wetland forests and their wildlife. It was already a site worth protecting before World War II, and its current area was expanded in recent years.
The reserve is a wetland forest that stands as one of the last natural bog woodlands in this part of Europe and holds deep meaning for the local community. Visitors notice how the place embodies a wild, undisturbed natural world that reflects the importance of conservation in the region.
The best way to reach the reserve is a marked walking trail from nearby villages, ideally wearing sturdy shoes since the ground is very wet and muddy. Spring is ideal for visiting when animals are breeding, or autumn when leaves change and mushrooms grow abundantly.
The forest is home to the Dalmatian frog, a species found nowhere else in Poland, making the area especially valuable for conservation efforts. Additionally, the woodland contains rare mushroom species like the tiger's milk cap, which grows only during wetter seasons and is considered endangered.
