Nature reserve Dolina Pięciu Jezior

Nature reserve Dolina Pięciu Jezior is a protected natural area with five interconnected lakes surrounded by steep glacial valleys. Dense beech forests shape the landscape around these lakes near the source of the Drawa River.

The area received official protection status in 1987, marking formal recognition of its ecological importance. This action safeguarded a distinctive part of the West Pomeranian region from further change.

The two marked walking paths here guide visitors through routes that people have been using for centuries. Walking through these changing landscapes gives a sense of how communities have long valued and moved through this area.

Visitors should check with the management office for details about access points and permitted activities within the protected area. The trails offer varying lengths and difficulty levels suitable for different fitness abilities.

The reserve contains deep glacial troughs reaching approximately 55 meters deep, creating special conditions for rare plant species. These sunken valleys allow water lilies to thrive in ways they rarely do elsewhere.
