Bory Tucholskie National Park

Bory Tucholskie National Park is one of Poland's 23 national parks and the eleventh established in the country's lowland regions. It lies in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in the Chojnice County, within the rural communes of Chojnice and Brusy, with its administrative seat in the lakeside village of Charzykowy a few kilometers from Chojnice. The park protects a representative fragment of the much larger Tuchola Forest, a vast pine-dominated lowland forest complex recognized internationally as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The protected landscape combines flat sandy plains, inland dunes, dense coniferous forests, and clear oligotrophic lakes. Waters cover roughly one tenth of the park's area and include rare lobelia-type lakes considered to be among the cleanest in the country. The park is small in area compared with other Polish national parks, but ecologically it represents one of the most important lowland forest and postglacial lake ecosystems in Poland. Beyond its ecological role, the park serves as a refuge for species that have largely disappeared from surrounding lowland landscapes, from white-tailed eagles and black woodpeckers to orchids, glacial relict mosses, and boreal fen plants. It is a national-park-scale protected core within a far broader biosphere that connects forestry, traditional rural land use, and conservation.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
