Nature reserve Kołacznia, Nature reserve in Nowa Sarzyna, Poland.
The Kolacznia Nature Reserve spans 0.10 hectares of protected land featuring yellow rhododendron plants growing on sandy dunes near Wola Zarczycka.
Local teacher discovered this isolated yellow rhododendron location in 1909, leading Professor Marian Raciborski to document the finding for scientific research.
The site holds a regional legend stating that rhododendron bushes were planted on the grave of a Tatar khan who died in battle.
Visitors can observe the yellow rhododendron flowers during May when the plants bloom for three weeks, releasing strong fragrances into the surrounding air.
This reserve contains the westernmost natural occurrence of yellow rhododendron in Europe, representing a probable pre-glacial period remnant of the species.
