Rezerwat przyrody Hedera, Nature reserve in Nakło nad Notecią, Poland
Hedera Reserve is a protected woodland area near Nakło nad Notecią situated on a steep slope that cuts into a glacial valley. The site contains mixed forest vegetation with ivy as a dominant feature and occupies a compact area of woodland.
The area received official protection status in the early 2000s through formal legal action. This designation established it as a protected natural area for long-term preservation.
The name refers to the ivy plants that grow abundantly here and shape the woodland character. Visitors can observe how these climbing plants weave through the forest structure and actively define the ecosystem.
The terrain is sloped and requires sturdy footwear to navigate the steep ground. Access is best from the south near the main road 10 at Minikowo village, with paths varying in accessibility by season.
The area hosts ivy specimens with unusually thick woody stems that are rare in Poland. This exceptional growth form makes the reserve a place of particular botanical interest.
