Wołomin District

    Wołomin Poviat is part of the vast Region of Mazovia. The great Wołomin Plain is naturally diverse, show-casing forests, coppices and dunes and criss-crossed by lazily running rivers. In the past the area was covered by vast woodlands, which is proved today by the remains of the Słupecka, Kamieniecka, Jadowska and Sulejowska primeval forests of Mazovia as well as many ancient natural phenomena.  The southern part of Poland including Kurpie, Mazovia and Podlasie and called "Green lungs of Poland" abound with large number of beautiful regions amazing their pure richness and variety of flora and fauna. Especially such a part of that region as The Nadbuzanski Landscape Park distinguishes it among others. This park was established in 1993 to protect natural values of the unique Bug River Valley and also to promote ecodevelopment of the area. This reserve is situated only 40 km away from Warsaw, it stretches towards the eastern country borderland and comprises 85 km of the Bug River, a part of the Narew River Valley, large piece of Biala Primeval Forest and Lochów and Ceranów forest.
