Górzno-Lidzbark Landscape Park

The Górzno-Lidzbark Landscape Park established in 1990 r. in the provinces of Ciechanów and Toruń, on the surface 18966 ha (31173 ha with lagging) in order to preserve the landscape and nature of the Chelmno-Dobrzyń Lake District shaped by the glacier and post-glacial processes. All the classic geomorphological forms for the postglacial areas are present here: hills, moraine hills and uplands, kemy, drumlins, ozy, outwash plains, sub-glacial gutters, river valleys and melting depressions. The area is extremely diverse in terms of landscape. The Górzanka gutter and the gutter are particularly attractive, depression and valley of Hrynica. The park has approx. 55 lakes, mainly gutter, with a total area 443 ha. Ok. 70% the terrain is forests, and the dominant tree is pine. There are approx. 900 vascular plant species. A number of rare and protected plants grow here, np. the slipper and the chrysanthemum. The park is also characterized by the richness of the animal world, especially the birdlife, including aquatic and predatory species. In the area of ​​the landscape park was created 5 nature reserves: "Klonowo" (created in 1958 r. on the surface 30,85 ha in order to protect a mixed forest with pine and English oak), "Spring of Hrynica" (created in 1955 r. on the surface 29,47 ha in order to protect the broadleaved forest, a riparian and alder forest and a fragment of mixed coniferous forest growing on the bottom and slope of the ravine of the Hrynica River) and described later (str. 180): "Ostrowy nad Brynica", "Czarny Bryńsk" and "Szumny Zdrój im. K. Sulisławski ". Among the natural monuments, the "Dąb Rzeczypospolitej", growing near the Brynica River, with a trunk circumference, stands out 592 cm and height 32 m.
