Poland's most forested national park protecting the Roztocze range's ancient firs and biodiversity
Roztocze National Park
Roztocze National Park is Poland's most heavily forested national park, covering 84.83 square kilometers in the southeastern Lublin Voivodeship. The park preserves the most valuable natural areas of the middle part of the Roztocze range, a distinctive upland region that separates the Lublin Upland from the Sandomierz Basin. Established in 1974 and headquartered in the village of Zwierzyniec, the park protects exceptional old-growth forests, the Wieprz river valley, and significant populations of wildlife including the protected Polish konik pony. The park's landscape is characterized by rolling hills, deeply carved valleys, and some of the largest fir trees in Poland, reaching heights of up to 50 meters. Over 400 ancient trees within the park have been designated as nature monuments, reflecting the long ecological continuity of these forests.
