Beskrivning

The Karsiborska Kępa Reserve is situated on an island bearing the same name, which forms part of the Swine Delta, a bird site of European importance. The Reserve is the first (and so far the only one) one that is owned by OTOP (BirdLife Poland). It is one of the first ‘community reserves’ and probably the first one in which active conservation methods are applied, unlike in strict protection reserves, in which there is no human interference whatsoever.

The first thing that strikes you about the Karsiborska Kępa is the extensive open area of pastures and meadows. The island is distinguished among other islands of the Delta in that it is used as pasture land. It is surrounded by an embankment, has a drainage system and pasture fencing. The Reserve is divided into two parts: the western part, dominated by pastures and meadows, and the eastern part, with sedge mire overgrown with reeds. A landmark of the Karsiborska Kępa is its observation tower, which offers a magnificent view over the island, the Stara Świna river with its picturesque small islands, and the Wolin National Park.

Tourist trails of the Karsiborska Kępa cross the backwater in the northern section of the island, where migrating birds rest and forage. Among the other birds you can see are grågås, bläsgås, gravand, årta, Skedand, brunand, rödspov, brushane,blåhake, skäggmes, vattenrall, sävsångare, vassångare, gulärla, citronärla, kärrsnäppa, gråhäger, ägretthäger, brun kärrhök, havsörn and kungsfiskare.
