How to navigate through the places of natural value in the Barycz Valley?
The Barycz Valley is almost entirely covered by protected areas. These are nature reserves, a landscape park, Natura 2000 sites, ecological lands and natural monuments. Therefore, tourists, although they are welcome here, should remember about certain limitations in extremely valuable natural areas covered by international conventions.
Within the “Stawy Milickie” reserve and in forest reserves, it is allowed to walk only along marked roads and paths. It is forbidden to hunt and fish here outside the designated fisheries and to enter dikes except those clearly marked as open to tourists (paths and trails). Ignoring bans is an offense that can result in a fine. It is worth remembering that you must not do anything that could scare the animals.
Do you know that…
The largest Polish ornithological reserve “Stawy Milickie” was included in the Polish Red Book of Polish Landscapes, which includes the most valuable and endangered natural and landscape complexes.
The other rules do not go far beyond the standards of a responsible tourist who usually follows them instinctively. A responsible tourist does not litter, does not make noise, does not drive a car or motorcycle away from public roads into the reserve, does not let the dog off its leash. Moreover, he/she knows that it is not allowed to bathe in ponds, light fires and camp outside the designated areas, as well as pick mushrooms and plants, because they are all protected here.
When entering the area of the “Stawy Milickie” reserve, we should remember first of all that the introduced legal provisions are aimed at effective protection of the natural welfare and the preservation of protected and rare species of animals, plants and fungi and their habitats for future generations. It is the responsible behavior of each of us that determines the fate of this patch of wild nature.
There are fewer restrictions on the landscape park, but you can only camp in designated areas.
