Jezierzyca Valley Landscape Park

Jezierzyca Valley Landscape Park lies in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in Wołów County, northwest of Wołów, on the border between the Silesian Lowland and the Trzebnica Ridge.

Park created in 1994

The park was created in 1994 and covers an area of 7,953 hectares within the municipalities of Wołów and Wińsko. It lies in the drainage basin of the Jezierzyca river, into which the smaller rivers Juszka and Niecieczna flow within the park.

Landscape and geology

The park's terrain was shaped by the Central Polish glaciations - the subsoil contains sands, gravels and clays from that period, and the relief is formed by outwash plains and fixed dunes. Elevations within the park range from 89.5 to 126.3 metres above sea level.

A few kilometres from here stands Wołów Castle.

Not far away also lies the Uroczysko Wrzosy Nature Reserve.
