Checked
Sulejów Landscape Park (Sulejowski Park Krajobrazowy) is a protected area (Landscape Park) in central Poland, established in 1994 and covering an area of 171 square kilometres (66 sq mi).
Within the park's Niebieskie Źródła reserve, karst springs push crystal-clear water up through cracked limestone with enough force to lift sand off the bottom, boiling like a geyser. Eleven nature reserves inside the park protect surviving fragments of the old Pilica Forest, among them 200-year-old oak stands and firs at the northern edge of their natural range. Lynx, black stork, white-tailed eagle and beaver live within the park's boundaries, alongside the rarer lesser spotted eagle and corncrake.
What you see
A dammed stretch of the Pilica widens into the Sulejowski Reservoir behind the Smardzewice dam, its shoreline set in the surviving pine and oak stands of the old Pilica Forest.
