Pola irygacyjne Wrocławia, Wetland irrigation fields in north Wrocław, Poland.
Description
The Pola irygacyjne Wrocławia are wetland fields in the north of the city with an intricate network of channels, meadows, and reed beds. The landscape is flat and open, allowing water to move slowly through the terrain.
History
The fields were created in 1881 as one of Europe's earliest natural sewage treatment systems. They operated continuously for over 130 years before their primary function shifted in 2015.
Culture
The fields show how Wrocław manages water and nature together. You can see that the water controls disease and feeds birds that live here year-round.
Practical
You can watch birds year-round, but spring and autumn bring the most species during migration seasons. Bring binoculars and wear comfortable clothes for walking the paths.
Did you know?
More than 36 endangered animal species live here and were carefully documented through research between 2009 and 2020. This large number shows just how important these fields are for wildlife across the continent.
