Parks and nature in Cedynia: four reserves of the Cedynia Landscape Park, from the moss oak of Bielinek to the beech wood of the Świergotka valley.
All four places lie in the Cedynia commune, inside the Cedynia Landscape Park, and are free to visit. They suit anyone who prefers forest, valleys and dry grassland to city parks.
The best start is the Bielinek Nature Reserve on the slopes of the Oder valley. It protects forest-steppe communities and the only site of the Hungarian oak in Poland, and a path leads to a viewing shelter. It covers over seventy hectares and dates from 1957.
Not far away, along the blue trail, lies the Olszyna Źródliskowa pod Lubiechowem Dolnym Nature Reserve, a one-hectare patch of woodland protecting giant horsetail. It was created in 1973 and is looked after by the Chojna Forest District.
Wrzosowiska Cedyńskie Nature Reserve lies a few kilometres south-west of the town, by provincial road 124 towards Osinów Dolny. A path climbs a hill with a viewing platform, through heather and dry grassland.
The Dolina Świergotki Nature Reserve offers Pomeranian beech forest and the gorge of the Świergotka stream, open to walkers. The rest of the town is on the page things to do in Cedynia, and other parks of the region are under parks and nature. The history of the area is told in the article on the battle of Cedynia in 972.
