Zaborski Landscape Park
Zaborski Landscape Park is a large protected landscape area in northern Poland, situated in the Pomeranian Voivodeship on the Kashubian territory known as the Zabory. It spans the municipalities of Chojnice and Brusy and lies within Bory Tucholskie, the Tuchola Forest, one of the largest forest complexes in Poland. The park protects a diverse mosaic of pine-dominated woodlands, glacial-origin lakes, river valleys, bogs, and small agricultural enclaves. Its territory surrounds the Bory Tucholskie National Park and is part of the UNESCO-designated Bory Tucholskie Biosphere Reserve. Eight nature reserves and numerous Natura 2000 sites further reinforce its ecological importance at both national and European levels. Beyond its ecological value, Zaborski Landscape Park represents a classic example of the post-glacial lowland landscape of northern Poland, combining lakes of varying trophic states, sand plain rivers, and relict plant species of boreal origin. It is a key destination for anyone interested in the natural character of the Polish lowlands south of the Baltic coast.
