About this place
Polesie National Park is a national park in Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, within the Polish part of the historical region of Polesia. Established in 1990, it originally covered 48.13 square kilometres and later expanded in 1994 with the addition of Bubnów Marsh, a swampy area next to the park. Today it spans 97.62 km2 (37.69 sq mi) and offers a quiet outing focused on wetlands, forests, and open water.
Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:
- landscapes shaped by former peat-bog reserves, including Durne Marsh, Moszne Lake, Długie Lake, and Orłowskie Peatland, which give the park its distinctive wetland character
- a large share of forested terrain, with forests covering 47.8 km2, alongside 20.9 km2 of water and wastelands that create varied natural scenery
- a chance to explore the park’s marshes and lakes in the broader setting of Polesia, a region long associated with bogs and swampy habitats
For a visit here, it is worth wearing comfortable shoes and checking the weather, especially if you plan to spend time near marshy ground or along wetter routes. This is a good choice for travelers looking for a calm trip close to nature, rather than a fast-paced sightseeing stop.
