Nature reserve Jedlnia
Nature reserve Jedlnia is a protected forest area of about 87 hectares located near the town of Jedlnia-Letnisko in Poland. The forest consists mainly of old pines, oaks, birches, firs and maples, some over 150 years old, and also hosts rare ground-level flora such as lily of the valley and feather grass.
The reserve was officially established in 1982 as a forest protection area to preserve the naturally grown old forest stands. The site is also a memorial to about 850 people who were executed by Nazi forces between 1939 and 1943.
The reserve shows the diversity of Poland's old forest landscape, serving as a learning place for local visitors and school groups about nature and conservation. The maintained trails and information signs allow visitors to experience the rare plants and the natural forest structure directly.
The site is accessible year-round and free to visit, with spring and summer being the best times when flowers bloom and birds are active. The clearly marked black hiking trail passes through the forest area and connects the nearby towns of Jedlnia-Letnisko and surrounding villages.
The reserve is part of a larger network of protected areas in the region and connects with other forest zones to create a continuous wildlife habitat. At night and in early mornings, visitors may notice tracks and footprints of small mammals like rabbits and foxes, showing that these animals use the forest as their home.
