North-west of Warsaw stretches the magnificent Puszcza Kampinoska (Kampinoska Forest). A protected area of this size and importance lying in the direct proximity of a big city is unusual in the world. Predominantly westerly winds sweep the clean air from the forest towards Warsaw, which is beneficial for the city. Experts say that this is what has saved the capital from becoming an environmentally endangered area. In 1959 the forest was designated the Kampinos National Park, the second largest in the country (38,500 ha). The National Park was created in order to protect a group of inland dunes, very uncommon in Europe, as well as natural plant assemblages (with over 60 listed species) and a rich fauna. The sands are covered by a pine forest with a juniper undergrowth. The most ancient trees are 200 years old. Hollows between the dunes shelter broadleaved species: the oak, birch, aspen and hornbeam. To the south and north there are wetlands and marshes, dominated by alder, birch, and ash. One peculiarity found here is the black birch. In the undergrowth you can see white anemones, while the marshes are punctuated by kingcups and irises. |
