Poland's largest forest wilderness with lakes, dunes, and glacial landscapes
Tuchola Forest National Park
Tuchola Forest National Park is a protected area in northern Poland, established on July 1, 1996, in the heart of the Tuchola Forest—the largest woodland in Poland. The park encompasses 46.13 square kilometers of diverse landscapes including mature forests, numerous lakes, meadows, and peatlands. It is situated in Chojnice County within the Pomeranian Voivodeship, forming the core of a larger protected landscape surrounded by Zaborski Landscape Park. The park was created to protect one of Poland's most significant forest ecosystems and is part of the Tuchola Forest Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO in 2010. The area was shaped by the Scandinavian Glacier, resulting in distinctive sandy plains, dunes, and a chain of glacial lakes that define the landscape.
