Description
The Przemków Ponds (Stawy Przemkowskie) are a truly unique, extensive wetland complex protected as a nature reserve and part of the Natura 2000 network, where nature functions with minimal human interference. The landscape of ponds, reed beds, wet meadows, and patches of forest provides ideal conditions for birds to breed, migrate, and thrive. In the heart of this wild area stands a 12-meter-high steel observation tower with a viewing platform at around 13 meters, reached via a wooden boardwalk stretching across the marshes — an ideal spot for quiet and comfortable birdwatching over the panoramic waterscape.
Birds you can observe include bučiak veľký, bučiačik močiarny, potápka chochlatá, kačica chripľavka, chochlačka bielooká, hrdzavka potápavá, hlaholka severská, beluša veľká, volavka popolavá, chavkoš nočný, brehár čiernochvostý, kalužiak močiarny, kalužiak červenonohý, bojovník bahenný, kaňa močiarna, orliak morský, trsteniarik malý, hvizdák veľký, strnádka trstinová, trsteniarik bahenný, trsteniarik veľký, chrapkáč poľný, chriašteľ vodný, labuť veľká, labuť spevavá, kačica chrapačka, kačica lyžičiarka, kačica chrapka, chochlačka sivá, močiarnica mekotavá, potápka červenokrká, kormorán veľký, kršiak rybár, fúzatka trstinová, hus bieločelá, hus tundrová.
Details
Access
Stawy Przemkowskie is located north of the town of Przemków. You can park your car on the gravel road in Ostaszów, right by the path leading to the wooden boardwalk. Press P on the map ford directions to the parking. From there, follow the boardwalk - about 850 m - across the marshes until you reach the steel observation tower. The walk takes roughly 15–20 minutes one way, and the tower offers a peaceful, elevated view of the ponds and wetland habitat.
The educational boardwalk at the Przemków Ponds is about 850 meters long and accessible only on foot. It is not permitted to use bicycles, cars, or strollers - the path is intended solely for pedestrians, regardless of age or fitness level.
