Nature reserve Jezioro Łuknajno, Nature reserve in Masuria region, Poland
The 1189-hectare Luknajno Lake features shallow waters, extensive reed beds, and wetlands that provide habitats for numerous water birds and aquatic plants.
The area received its first protection status in 1937 under German administration, followed by official designation as a nature reserve in 1947 by Polish authorities.
The name Luknajno originates from the Baltic word 'lukne', meaning water lily, reflecting the historical linguistic connections of the Masuria region.
The lake maintains strict protection measures, prohibiting fishing and sailing activities while offering designated observation points for wildlife viewing and photography.
The reserve hosts Europe's largest mute swan colony, with populations reaching up to 2000 individuals during peak seasons.
