Kampinos National Park: geography
Location: Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. Recorded area: 385.44 km².
Poland's largest forest preserve protecting Europe's finest inland dunes and a stronghold for moose, beavers, and lynx
Kampinos National Park
Kampinos National Park is Poland's second-largest national park and the only one located in the Masovian Voivodeship, situated on the northwestern outskirts of Warsaw. The park encompasses the ancient Kampinos Forest, a vast woodland that is a remnant of the historic Mazovian Forest. Established in 1959 and designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2000, the park protects a distinctive landscape of sand dunes and wetlands that forms one of Europe's most significant inland dune complexes. The park's protective emblem features the moose, reflecting its importance as one of Poland's three primary locations for this largest member of the deer family. The area holds profound historical significance, with numerous sites commemorating Polish independence struggles and World War II events, including the Palmiry massacre cemetery. The park offers extensive recreational opportunities with over 360 kilometers of hiking trails and 200 kilometers of cycling routes, making it a vital green escape for Warsaw residents and visitors alike.
