Rezerwat przyrody Jeziorka Kozie, Nature reserve in Tuchola Forest, Poland.
Rezerwat przyrody Jeziorka Kozie is a nature reserve in Tuchola Forest containing four distinct lakes set within extensive peat bogs. These waters support specialized habitats for rare plant and animal species adapted to wetland conditions.
The area was officially designated as a protected zone in 1984 by forestry authorities. This decision marked the start of systematic protection for the unique bog ecosystems and their inhabitants.
The name refers to the goat lakes, surrounded by boggy terrain that holds special significance in the local landscape. Visitors can observe how plants and animals have adapted to thrive in this wet, peat-rich environment.
Visitors can explore the area on marked trails while following conservation guidelines to protect the environment. Wearing waterproof footwear is recommended since the ground is wet and boggy throughout.
The lakes here have no inflow and are fed only by rainwater, making them a rare type of water body. These dystrophic waters with their thin moss mat layer allow carnivorous sundew plants to grow in this specialized bog setting.
