Access

The easiest way is to reach the village of Kromolice by car. Park your car at the end of the village at the bend. From there, walk along the path between the field and the reeds. Turn right and follow the path for approximately 2 km. Return the same road or through the meadows to the Szczodrzykowo Reservoir. (Note: ditches cross meadows and fields).

By train from Poznań, you will get to Pierzchno station (marked with a star on the map). From there, about 2 km on foot (to the right after leaving the station, turn left and left again - the village of Kromolice).

In the village of Kromolice, it is worth to walk to the playground and to pass to its end. There are ponds formed in the meadows in spring that are interesting for birding.
