Nature reserve Łężczok

Łężczok nature reserve (known as Łężczak until 2015) is a water nature reserve located in the Silesian Voivodeship, Racibórz County, situated between Racibórz, Nędza, Zawada Książęca, and Babice. It is part of the Rudy Landscape Park. The reserve is home to a rich variety of fauna and flora, including over half of the bird species found in Poland. Two hiking trails and one cycling route pass through the reserve. It has held the status of a nature reserve since 23 January 1957. Initially, the reserve covered an area of 396.21 hectares; however, it has been expanded several times, most recently in 2015, to its current size of 477.38 hectares. The reserve is located within the jurisdiction of the Rudy Raciborskie Forest District. It is overseen by the Regional Nature Conservation Officer in Katowice. While the reserve does not have a formal protection plan, conservation tasks are in place that ensure the area is subject to active protection.
