Access

It is best to park near the centuries-old "Bartek" Oak in Owińska - on the eastern side of the Warta River - click on the P in the map for directions. There is also a bus from Poznań to Owińska. You can also reach the place by bike along a varied bicycle route from Poznań. From the bus stop or parking lot, head towards the footbridge and climb the tower, from where you just need to look out for interesting birds. Observations are best done stationary, looking for something in the sky, but you can also find some interesting species under the tower, such as Pescăraș albastru or Codobatură de munte.

Polski : Najlepiej zaparkować koło Dębu Bartek w Owińskach - po wschodniej stronie Warty. Do Owińsk dojeżdża też autobus z Poznania. Potem należy kierować się w stronę kładki i wejść na wieżę, z której wystarczy już tylko wypatrywać ciekawych ptaków. Obserwacje najlepiej prowadzić stacjonarnie, szukając czegoś na niebie, ale mozna też znaleźć kilka interesujących gatunków pod wieżą takich jak m. in. Pescăraș albastru lub Codobatură de munte.
