Przemyskie Foothills Landscape Park

The Przemyśl Foothills Landscape Park, established in 1991, is one of the largest landscape parks in Poland, covering an area of 60,561 hectares in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, southwest of Przemyśl. It encompasses the municipalities of Bircza, Dubiecko, Dynów, Fredropol, Krasiczyn, Krzywcza, and the town of Dynów, within the administrative districts of Przemyśl and Rzeszów. The park is a region of rich biodiversity, protecting features characteristic of the area, such as dry valleys and peat bogs like Bachórzec. This area is also a habitat for rare species of fauna and flora, including wildcats, lynxes, bears, and the unique Dalmatian frog. Many plant species are under protection, such as the southern bladdernut and the autumn crocus. Notable bird species include the golden eagle, the lesser spotted eagle, and the Ural owl. Within the park, there are also nature reserves, such as Kalwaria Pacławska and Broduszurki, which are valuable elements of local nature conservation. The park plays an important role in preserving regional landscape values and environmental education, making it not only an attractive tourist destination but also a significant site for natural research and environmental protection.
